Transoral robotic surgery offers multiple benefits for patients, including faster recovery, less pain, and an earlier return to eating after surgery. Additionally, it reduces hospital stays to 1-2 days compared to the 7-15 days of open surgery and decreases complications related to speech and swallowing. In some cases, it also minimizes the need for additional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, as well as associated hospital costs.

Dysphagia, or swallowing difficulties, is a condition that affects approximately 1 in 25 adults in the United States each year, impacting millions of people. It can be caused by conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, strokes, neurological problems, or head and neck cancer. This condition can interfere with nutrition, hydration, and quality of life, making proper diagnosis and treatment essential to prevent more serious complications.
