About
Dr. Bob Lerut is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has advanced the application of robotic techniques in complex anatomical regions. His primary research focuses on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for challenging pathologies, particularly within the parapharyngeal space (PPS)—a region fraught with vital neurovascular structures. In his landmark 2015 case series on TORS for four benign parapharyngeal tumours, Dr. Lerut demonstrated the feasibility and safety of using the da Vinci robotic system to access and excise these lesions with enhanced precision and reduced morbidity. This work, cited 6 times, laid foundational evidence for minimally invasive approaches in skull base and parapharyngeal surgery. By showcasing how robotic assistance can overcome traditional access limitations, Dr. Lerut has contributed to expanding the surgical armamentarium, offering patients less invasive options with potentially faster recovery. His ongoing efforts continue to refine robotic protocols and broaden their application, solidifying his role as an innovator at the intersection of technology and surgical oncology.
