Summary

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) allows resection of otherwise inaccessible pathology. It generates unique challenges to the airway management of the patient due to the shared location of the anaesthetist and the surgeon’s equipment. A close cooperation between the anaesthetic and surgical team is required, for the safe handling of the airway. The anaesthetist needs to be able to employ a variety of airway manoeuvres in order to ensure the airway patency throughout the perioperative and post-operative period. The airway of the TORS patient is characterised by its dynamic nature, as it changes due to the surgery, swelling and bleeding.
