About
Dr. Bachy is a leading otolaryngologist whose work centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck pathologies, with a particular focus on oropharyngeal cancer and obstructive sleep apnea. Her research has been instrumental in demonstrating that TORS can achieve excellent functional outcomes for patients with early-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, preserving critical functions like swallowing while effectively treating the disease. In parallel, she has advanced the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by pioneering TORS for base of tongue reduction, a technically challenging procedure that robotic technology has made both safer and more effective. Her 2015 paper on functional outcomes after TORS for oropharyngeal cancer has garnered 4 citations, while her work on robotic tongue base reduction for sleep apnea has received 3 citations, establishing foundational knowledge in these emerging surgical domains. Dr. Bachy’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging oncologic efficacy with quality-of-life preservation, and for expanding the application of robotic surgery into sleep medicine—a field where traditional surgical approaches have often been limited. Her work continues to shape how surgeons approach complex head and neck procedures.
