Robot assisted surgery is a technology that is being employed with growing frequency among multiple surgical specialties. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is an application in head and neck surgery that is being used and studied. This article investigates current techniques of the surgical robot in head and neck surgery as well educational programs to achieve clinical competence.

KEY WORDS: competency, da Vinci, education, oral, reconstructive, robot assisted, robotic, surgical, TORS.
