10 19 TORS in SDB Surgery include two different surgical procedures usually combined in the same patient: 1. Tongue Base Reduction (TBR) 2.Supra Glotto Plasty (SGP) TOR TBR-SGP 20 The end point of TBR may be probably achieved when the obtained surgical view shifts from a Cormack & Lehane Grade IV to a Grade II, or, less commonly, to a Grade I. In all but few cases lymphoid tissue as well as tongue base muscle must be removed in order to clear the so called Retrolingual Space or Posterior Airway Space (PAS). IV to III/II 10

11 TB Surgical Specimen: up to 51 cc* 21 Mean tongue volume: cc ranging from 64.1 to according to the measuring method and to the selected group ( Humbert, Kondo, Yoo, Hermann) 22 SUPRA GLOTTO PLASTY: It s very often carried out after TBR in the same patient and during the same operation. The key of SGP is to fix the inward inspiratory collapse of floppy and/or redundant tissue in epiglottis, ary-epiglottic folds, arytenoids area. In Literature (Zalzal & Coll., Golz & Coll., 2001; Senders & Navarrete, 2001; Toynton & Coll.., 2001) four different surgical actions are described ad suggested, separately or in different combination: 1. resection of eccessive amount of tissue ( -ectomy or plasty ) 2. mucosal removal in order to promote scarring and retraction ( - scar-pexy ) 3. suturing in order to stabilise too mobile structures ( - suture-pexy) 4. section and release of too short ligaments. ( - release ) Robotic supraglottic larynx resection was described by Weinstein & Coll. ( 2005) in cadaver, Hockstein & Coll. (2005) introduced different robotic procedures in the same area in a similar cadaver model, and more recently Solares and Strome (2007) proposed in cadaver and dog model a Robot-Laser coupling for supraglottic laringectomy. 11

12

13 25 26 STEP 3: RESIDUAL OBSTRUCTION EVALUATION If Cormack & Lehane Grade > 2 is measured If overall resected tissue volume is < 7-8 cc addictional resection in true muscle area is required and planned Addictional resection is not related to the tissue to remove ( lymphoyd tissue vs muscle ) The key is to clear the inspected airway to a reasonable level of endoscopical patency 13

14 27 STEP 4: ADDICTIONAL RESECTIONS the key of this step is to remove a sufficient amount of muscle in order to open the posterior airway space as well as to avoid any possible injury to XII cranial nerve, lingual nerve and lingual artery 28 STEP 4: ADDICTIONAL RESECTIONS basically a muscle layer thinner than 10 mm may be removed without real problems inside the entire BOT limits in midline area an additional strip of 5 mm at each side of midline and 5 mm in depth may be resected without major addictional risks 14

15 29 STEP 4: ADDICTIONAL RESECTIONS an additional strip of average 5 mm at each side of midline ( more higher, equal or less lower ) and 5 mm in depth may be resected without major addictional risks the paramount importance of 3D Da Vinci close view with magnification is the key for the identification of the crucial structures before to damage them, working carefully step by step with a mix of blunt and sharp dissection with robotic arms 30 15

30 59 Concluding Remarks Pro Contra TORS for OSA is no more a futuristic or experimental option Different Centres trough the world developed and tested different techiques, and many others applied the available solutions All of that proved to be feasible, safe, and well accepted by patients and surgeons Both published TORS techniques were compared with the most popular Tongue Base alternatives with good results TORS experience for OSA is up to now limited in number and follow up time The overall number of Centres in the world with a sufficient expertise is low The cost of the procedure is higher than the alternative options A new generation of robotic instruments more dedicated or applicable for TORS are strongly reccomended 60 Technology make it easier Thank you for your attention! 30
