    Objective: To assess the quality of life of patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Methods: 38 patients treated with TORS followed by adjuvant therapy as indicated were prospectively enrolled. SF-8™ and Performance Status Scale (PSS) questionnaires completed prior to surgery, 6 and 12 months of follow-up were analyzed. Results: For PSS Eating and Diet domains, significant decreases occurred at 6 months (p=<0.001 and p=<0.001, respectively) but not at 12 months. Significant declines in PSS Speech were seen at 6 and 12 months (p=<0.001 and p=<0.001). No significant declines in the SF-8 ™ domains, except for Bodily Pain and Global Health (6 months). Significantly higher PSS Eating and Diet scores were seen at 6 months for TORS alone compared to TORS and chemoradiation. Conclusions: Combination TORS and adjuvant therapy caused a temporary decrease in several domains at 6 months returning to baseline including swallowing function in all patients.
