This session will discuss robotic neck surgery using retroauricular approach for different procedures such as neck dissection, lateral neck tumors, salivary gland disorders, and others. Its is a very versatile approach to introduce the head and neck surgeon into robotic surgery.

Learning Objectives:

Introduce robotic and endoscopic approaches to the central and lateral neck
Discuss the benefits, the learning curve, and the risks of such procedures
Promote a critical discussion with the audience about such procedures
