Description: Despite transoral robotic surgery (TORS) being a well-accepted tool in the management of patients with oropharyngeal cancer, perioperative care pathways vary considerably from one institution to another. Growing utilization of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have yielded compelling data across multiple disciplines, albeit not yet for TORS. In this panel, we will discuss the current landscape of perioperative care pathways for the TORS patient including pre-operative counseling and education, management of anticoagulation, ERAS protocols, pain control, speech language pathology involvement and swallow initiation.
