Key Points

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of CO2 laser dissection in transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Utilized CO2 laser for dissection during transoral robotic surgery
  • Monitored postoperative functional outcomes
  • Compared thermal injury effects to monopolar electrocautery
  • Showed acceptable postoperative functional outcomes
  • Indicated reduced thermal injury compared to monopolar electrocautery

Abstract

CO₂ laser dissection in TORS for OPSCC represents a viable surgical approach with acceptable postoperative functional outcomes and may possibly demonstrate reduced thermal injury compared with monopolar electrocautery.
