Abstract
Surgical approaches to the oropharynx have trended over the years from more invasive to more minimally invasive procedures, with the advent of transoral laser microsurgery and transoral robotic surgery. With less invasive procedure, visualization of critical structures may be more limited, necessitating a robust understanding and working knowledge of the underlying anatomy to avoid surgical complications and errors. Herein, we review pertinent anatomical structures in the oropharynx through use of a sagittally split cadaveric model in 2D and 3D imaging, with a focus on surgical relevance.
期刊介绍:
This large-size, atlas-format journal presents detailed illustrations of new surgical procedures and techniques in otology, rhinology, laryngology, reconstructive head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery. Feature articles in each issue are related to a central theme by anatomic area or disease process. The journal will also often contain articles on complications, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. New techniques that are non-operative are also featured.
