Transoral Videolaryngoscopic Surgery with a Navigation System for Excision of a Metastatic Retropharyngeal Lymph Node

Conclusions: A transoral approach may be a viable choice for surgery of a metastatic RPLN. Surgical indications for a transoral approach to the RPS include that (1) the location of the RPLN is below the level of the hard palate and the pterygoid hamulus and (2) there is only a single lesion, without adhesion to the surrounding tissue.ORL 2014;76:357-363
