Objective:To compare the efficacy of gasless robotic surgery via transaxillary approach and combined axillary-retroauricular approach for unilateral N1b PTC, and to explore the safety and effectiveness of gasless robotic surgery via transaxillary approach for unilateral N1b PTC. Methods:Unilateral N1b PTC patients who underwent surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology, Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat sen University between July 2016 and December 2024 were included and analyzed. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the differences of surgical approaches, the patients were divided into the transaxillary approach（TA） group and the combined axillary-retroauricular approach（TARA） group. The demographic data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative complications, shoulder function evaluation, postoperative visual analogue scale（VAS） of neck aesthetics and recurrence of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results:A total of 88 patients undergoing gasless robotic surgery were included in this study, including 23 cases in the TA group and 65 cases in the TARA group. The proportion of males in the TA group was significantly higher than that in the TARA group（56.5% vs 21.5%, χ²=9.776, P=0.002）. The total operation time in the TA group was significantly lower than that in the TARA Group（180.00[155.00, 220.00]min vs 220.00[177.50, 272.50]min, z=-2.775, P=0.006）, and the postoperative blood loss in the TA group was significantly lower than that in the TARA Group（30.00[20.00, 50.00]ml vs 50.00[30.00, 60.00]ml, Z=-2.127, P=0.033）. The proportion of area Ⅱ-Ⅴ in the TA group and the TARA group was 87.0% and 70.8%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups（P>0.05）. There was no significant difference in lateral cervical lymph node dissection and central lymph node dissection between the two groups（P>0.05）. During the follow-up period, no recurrence was found in the two groups, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups（P>0.05）. According to the stratification of dynamic recurrence risk assessment, it can be seen that the proportion of curative effect satisfaction in the TA group was as high as 95.7%, and that in the TARA group was as high as 81.5%, with no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in VAS score of neck, Constant Shoulder Score and NDⅡ scale between the two groups（P>0.05）. Conclusion:Gasless robotic surgery via transaxillary approach for unilateral N1b PTC is safe and feasible, and the amount postoperative lymph node acquisition is equivalent to that of combined axillary-retroauricular approach, which can provide a new choice for the treatment of unilateral N1b PTC patients.

Objective:Traditional salivary gland surgery involves incisions in the visible facial and cervical regions, leaving postoperative scars that affect cosmesis. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy, safety, and application value of robot-assisted endoscopic resection of benign submandibular and parotid gland lesions via a postauricular approach, while clarifying its advantageous differences compared with endoscopic surgery. Methods:Clinical data of 23 patients who underwent robot-assisted endoscopic surgery via a postauricular approach（11 parotid gland cases and 12 submandibular gland cases） from January 2017 to February 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, A matched control group of patients who received postauricular endoscopic surgery during the same period was selected as the control group in a 1∶1 ratio（11 parotid gland cases and 12 submandibular gland cases）. Indicators such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, and postoperative aesthetic satisfaction scores（Numeric Satisfaction Scale, NSS） were collected and compared between the two groups. The inclusion criteria were limited to benign lesions of the parotid superficial lobe（diameter ≤5 cm, without deep lobe involvement） and benign submandibular gland lesions（diameter ≤4 cm, without extension through the mylohyoid muscle）. Results:All robot-assisted surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. In the robot group, there were 7 male patients（mean age 39.5 years） and 16 female patients（mean age 35.9 years）. For parotid gland surgeries, the mean operation time was （114.00±38.35） minutes. For submandibular gland surgeries, the mean operation time was（140.00±30.75） minutes.Temporary facial paralysis occurred in 0 of patients after robotic submandibular gland surgery （vs.8% in the endoscopic group） and 18% after robotic parotid gland surgery （vs.27 % in the endoscopic group）,all of which resolved within 1 month, with no occurrence of salivary fistula or infection. Patients had high aesthetic satisfaction（NSS scores: 8.90±1.20 for parotid surgeries and 9.00±0.70 for submandibular surgeries）. No tumor recurrence was observed during the 8-77 month follow-up period. Conclusion:Robot-assisted endoscopic salivary gland surgery via a postauricular approach is safe and feasible. With three-dimensional high-definition visualization and precise mechanical manipulation, it outperforms traditional endoscopic surgery in reducing blood loss, lowering the risk of nerve injury, and achieving long-term cosmetic outcomes. It is particularly suitable for young patients and cases with benign lesions of the parotid superficial lobe or submandibular gland that have high aesthetic demands. However, this surgical approach is not suitable for deep parotid lobe tumors, and its long-term efficacy requires verification through large-sample studies.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and technical advantages of the domestic Jingfeng single-port robotic surgical system in transoral and transaxillary approach surgeries for multisite diseases. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 6 patients who underwent Jingfeng SP1000 single-port robotic-assisted surgery at our hospital from June 2025 to July 2025. They were divided into the transoral robotic surgery group（4cases） and the transaxillary approach thyroid cancer radical resection group（2cases） based on surgical approaches. The transoral robotic surgery group included extended resection of right tonsillar cancer with cervical lymph node dissection, epiglottic cyst resection, extended resection of right pyriform sinus cancer with cervical lymph node dissection, and surgery for epiglottic cyst and obstructive sleep apnea（OSA）. For each case, parameters including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications, robotic operation performance, and postoperative recovery were recorded. Results:All 6 surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery or system failure. In the transoral robotic surgery group, the mean robotic operation time was（60.00±34.88） minutes, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 20.00（5.75，20.00）mL. In the transaxillary robotic surgery group, the robotic operation time was respectively 60.00 and 40.00 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was 10.00 and 5.00 mL, respectively. One case of minor perioperative complication（in the flap dissection area） occurred, with no severe complications reported. All patients recovered smoothly after surgery, with a median follow-up of 1.9 months showing no residual lesions, recurrence, or functional impairment. Conclusion:This case series confirms the safety and feasibility of the domestic Jingfeng single-port robot in transoral and axillary approach surgeries in oropharyngeal-head and neck surgery. Its single-port design reduces trauma and the risk of robotic arm collision, adapts to minimally invasive needs, and its domestic production attribute lowers costs to facilitate popularization, providing a new option for such patients.
