CONCLUSIONS
Surgery for prestyloid tumors is evolving in parallel with technology.
At present, however, despite multiple
reports,2,3,14,23 there are no specific guidelines for
selecting TORS or lateral approaches. In the present single-center study
of two surgical approaches to these tumors, we have found superior
surgical results with medial approaches using TORS or TORS combined with
a transcervical approach. TORS can be improved with intraoperative image
guidance, and further investigation of these techniques is warranted.
