Robotic surgery in ENT and head and neck during the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a deep impact on the health-care system. The increased risk of contagion is especially for anesthetists, dentists, otolaryngologists, and head-and-neck surgeons. The management of ENT and head-and-neck surgical cases represents a unique challenge in the COVID-19...
