TransOral Robotic Surgery (TORS)
In late April I had the opportunity to photograph a reception showcasing “da Vinci,” a robot capable of performing TransOral Robotic Surgery. It is an amazing piece of breakthrough machinery invented and developed by the pioneering team of Gregory S. Weinstein, MD and Bert W. O’Malley, Jr., MD at the University of Pennsylvania. TransOral surgery is historically a very facially destructive operation however TORS leaves the patient virtually scarless. Even more monumental was the personal appearance by Cynthia Miller, a motivational speaker who was a former patient of TORS (featured in the slideshow below). I felt completely honored to photograph this reception and learned so much in the process.
