Transoral robotic surgery for the treatment of laryngeal chondrosarcoma: A case report

Conclusions and relevance Chondrosarcoma of the larynx is a rare entity that accounts for roughly 1% of laryngeal neoplasms. Recent trends in otolaryngology literature and practice suggest that low-grade chondrosarcomas can be effectively treated with organ-preserving, conservative surgery. Transoral robotic surgery offers numerous advantages over both open and endoscopic approaches. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature describing the successful use of transoral robotic surgery for the resection of a laryngeal chondrosarcoma.
