    Introduction Transoral robotic surgery has gained importance in head and neck surgery within the last years. Especially the Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System with its flexible camera system in combination with the Flex® retractor allows for excellent visualization of deeper anatomical structures such as hypopharynx and larynx with a good overview of adjacent structures.

    Methods To allow a direct comparison of the visualisation with the Medrobotics Flex®System versus conventional microlaryngoscopy, the same lesion was visualized and recorded with both methods in three patients.

    Results Both methods show good visualisation of the hypopharynx and larynx. Compared to conventional microlaryngoscopy the Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System allowed for a good overview of adjacent structures which is an advantage in tumor surgery. En Bloc resection can thus be facilitated.
