November 14, 2025 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes

Observational Study on Surgical Treatment of Early Stage (T1-T2) Glotto-supraglottic Laryngeal Cancer Via Transoral Resection With Robotic Assistance

The main objective of this study is to determine the rate of healthy surgical margins after tumor resection in transoral robot-assisted surgery for glottic and/or supraglottic early stage (T1-T2) laryngeal cancer.
