Summary: | <h4>Background</h4> <p>Ring retractors, such as the Alexis® wound retractor, are simple devices used in a wide range of surgical settings to provide atraumatic exposure while protecting wound edges.</p> <h4>Methods</h4> <p>Here, we describe the application of the Alexis® to provide access during transoral robotic surgery (TORS).</p> <h4>Conclusion</h4> <p>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.</p> |
