Abstract

This retrospective comparison assessed laser-TORS and electrocautery-TORS in patients with supraglottic and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Laser-based surgery demonstrated more favorable tumour margin status and better postoperative functional recovery, although larger prospective studies are still needed.
