Abstract: Surgical robots make use of minimally invasive advantages of endoscopic systems and can transcend the limitations of human operation, perform more detailed operations in a narrow space, and improve postoperative survival and quality of life of patients. It has high potential in the field of pharynx and larynx surgery. This study discusses the current status of the use of an oral surgery robot in pharynx and larynx surgery at home and abroad in recent years. It addresses the advantages of robot-assisted surgery, including lesser damage, clearer image production, and higher accuracy and safety than traditional surgery. It also addresses the disadvantages such as high cost, limitations posed by the narrow space of the pharynx and larynx, lack of tactile feedback, and lack of bone cutting. It proposes that there is still room for progress in the use of robot-assisted surgery systems for the pharynx and larynx. Finally, it also discusses the future development direction of robot-assisted surgery.

Key words: Transoral surgical robot, Otolaryngology head and neck surgery, Robot-assisted surgery, Minimally invasive surgery
