ABSTRACTBackgroundThe laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of the larynx, most frequently found in the aryepiglottic fold, which can be rather bulky when diagnosed.MethodsWe present a primary transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for a laryngeal schwannoma and highlight the advantages of the robotic assistance.ResultsThanks to the high‐definition 3D dynamic vision and an improved freedom of movement, it is possible to accurately accomplish surgical tasks that previously were much more complex or even unfeasible through a minimally invasive approach, potentially minimizing the surgical damage.ConclusionRobotic‐assisted surgery eased excision, supporting that it can expand the indications for transoral approaches. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
