Abstract
Background: The Vitom Eagle is a novel exoscopic system, specifically designed for transoral surgery (e.g., lateral oropharyngectomy). No prior study has compared it to existing surgical systems.
Methods: This case report examines a patient affected by HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with transoral lateral oropharyngectomy using the Vitom Eagle system, detailing the surgical setup, advantages, and functional and surgical outcomes.
Results: The procedure achieved complete tumor resection with negative margins. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no complications, and functional outcomes were preserved.
Conclusions: The Vitom Eagle offers significant advantages in visualization, overhead costs, and ergonomics, making it a valuable alternative tool for transoral surgeries.
