Single-Port Robotic Surgery at

In this video, Hilary McCrary, MD, MPH, discusses how the single-port surgical robot has advanced the treatment of certain head and neck cancers. The single-port surgical robot is equipped with novel instrumentation and technology tailored to perform effectively within a narrow field. It incorporates a state-of-the-art camera with the capability to change shape, providing increased visibility around corners.
In January of 2024, Huntsman Cancer Institute proudly introduced the first and only single-port robot in the Mountain West for head and neck surgical oncology patients. Before the Food and Drug Administration granted approval for the utilization of robots in head and neck surgeries, procedures were extremely difficult. This technological leap forward will expand possibilities and increase the number of patients eligible for treatment.
