Robotic Head and Neck Surgery

Drs Sam Dowthwaite, John O’Neill and Michael Busby are pleased to announce the continued expansion of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to patients on the Gold Coast. The da Vinci surgical robot is now available for patients at both John Flynn Hospital and the new Gold Coast Private Hospital. Our TORS surgeons at ENT Clinics are proud to provide expert care and treatment to all of our surgical patients with both benign and malignant conditions of the head and neck.
