Robot-assisted sialolithotomy with sialoendoscopy: a review of safety, efficacy and cost

ConclusionRASS is a safe modality for submandibular hilar sialolith removal with a high success rate, low risk for temporary tongue paresthesia, and lower rate of permeant lingual nerve damage compared to CAS. Compared with CAS, RASS may result in a net reduction of operative room costs given its shorter procedure time.
