Surgical management of Eagle syndrome: A 17-year experience with open and ransoral robotic styloidectomy
American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery Nov 21, 2019
Fitzpatrick TH, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective review in 19 Eagle Syndrome (ES), a rare disorder, patients at a single academic, tertiary medical center between 2000 and 2017 to investigate the utility of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the treatment of ES. For this investigation, 19 patients had 21 styloid resections: 6 performed via TORS and 15 via transcervical approach. According to results, 90% reported a degree of lasting improvement in symptoms across all patients, while 55% reported significant improvement. TORS styloidectomy is a reasonable surgical alternative to traditional transoral and transcervical procedures in selected patients as it offers comparable improvement of symptoms and decreased the length of stay, loss of blood, and operating time.
