Frequently asked questions

What is transoral robotic surgery?
It is a surgical technique where I use a robotic system to operate through the mouth. I control the instruments from a console with a three-dimensional view. This allows reaching deep areas of the throat without making external cuts on your neck.
Who is this surgery for?
It is indicated for selected patients with tumors in the oropharynx, such as in the tonsil or the base of the tongue. Not all cases are candidates for this technique. During the consultation, we evaluate your anatomy and the size of the tumor to determine feasibility.
Does the robot perform the surgery on its own?
No, the robot does not make decisions or operate autonomously. I directly control every movement of the instruments from a console in the operating room. The system simply translates my movements with high precision and amplifies my vision.
What are the benefits in recovery?
In indicated cases, by not making external incisions in the neck, there may be less pain after surgery. This usually facilitates a faster recovery for the patient. However, each healing process varies by person.
How much does robotic head and neck surgery cost in Bogotá?
The total cost cannot be determined without a prior evaluation in the office. It depends on the complexity of your case, the type of tumor, and the medical institution where the procedure is scheduled. During my consultation, we review these details and your insurance options.
