Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that has recently gained popularity. This involves the use of a robotic system to access and operate on hard-to-reach areas of the body, such as the base of tongue and pharynx. General anesthesia is the technique of choice in TORS as this procedure poses unique challenges due to the patient's airway anatomy, the need for precise surgical movements, and the potential for postoperative complications. Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) is the gold standard for an anticipated difficult airway. This case report describes the anesthetic management for a patient undergoing TORS for a tongue base mass.
经口机器人手术（TORS）是一种最近颇受欢迎的微创手术技术。这涉及使用机器人系统来进入并操作身体难以触及的部位，如舌根和咽部。全身麻醉是TORS中首选的技术，因为由于患者气道解剖结构、精确手术动作的需求以及术后并发症的可能性，该手术带来了独特的挑战。清醒纤维光导插管（AFOI）是预期困难气道的金标准。本病例报告描述了一名因舌根肿物接受TORS手术患者的麻醉管理。
