    Just seen another patient 5 years post Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and neck dissections for an HPV associated oropharyngeal cancer. Fortunately, did not require extra treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Working, swallowing and cured. See our results @ doi: 10.1007/s11701-024-01910-0.

    The da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic platform will soon be available for TORS in Australia. I've just completed my training in Strasbourg, France. The smaller flexible instruments and 3-D camera will take minimally invasive surgery for tumours of the throat to a new level.

    Many of our patients have expressed interest, sometimes bordering on surprise, at the new artworks hanging in our clinic. In particular our "Boomerang" series by Keemon Williams. You can learn more about Keemon here:
