By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news originating from Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, by News Rx correspondents, research stated, "There is a blooming trend in the applicatio n of robotic surgery in oral and maxillofacial care, and different studies had e valuated the quality of life (QoL) outcomes among patients who underwent robotic surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region. However, empirical evidence on th e QoL outcomes from these procedures is yet to be mapped." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of P eradeniya, "Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the available scientific evidence and gaps concerning the QoL outcomes of patients treated with robotic s urgery in the oral and maxillofacial region. This study adopted a scoping review design, and it was conducted and reported based on the Arksey and O'Malley, PRI SMA-ScR, and AMSTAR-2 guidelines. SCOPUS, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, and APA PsycI NFO were searched to retrieve relevant literature. Using Rayyan software, the re trieved literature were deduplicated, and screened based on the review's eligibi lity criteria. Only the eligible articles were included in the review. From the included articles, relevant data were charted, collated, and summarized. A total of 123 literature were retrieved from the literature search. After deduplicatio n and screening, only 18 heterogeneous original articles were included in the re view. A total of 771 transoral robotic surgeries (TORSs) were reported in these articles, and the TORSs were conducted on patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas (OPC), recurrent tonsillitis, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). In total, 20 different QoL instruments were used in these articles to assess patients' QoL ou tcomes, and the most used instrument was the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory Que stionnaire (MDADI). Physical functions related to swallowing, speech and salivar y functions were the most assessed QoL aspects. TORS was reported to result in i mproved QOL in patients with OPC, OSA, and recurrent tonsillitis, most significa ntly within the first postoperative year. Notably, the site of the lesion, invol vement of neck dissections and the characteristics of the adjuvant therapy seeme d to affect the QOL outcome in patients with OPC. Compared to the conventional t reatment modalities, TORS has demonstrated better QoL, mostly in the domains rel ated to oral functions such as swallowing and speech, among patients treated wit h such."
