• transoral robotic surgery (TORS)

Background: Ring retractors, such as the Alexis (R) wound retractor, are simple devices used in a wide range of surgical settings to provide atraumatic exposure while protecting wound edges.
Methods: Here, we describe the application of the Alexis (R) to provide access during transoral robotic surgery (TORS).
Conclusion: Its ease of application and many benefits, including maximization of intraoral space and protection of perioral soft tissues, make this device an excellent adjunct for TORS procedures.
