About

Dr. Damien Rupp is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic head and neck surgery, particularly in the treatment of laryngeal and thyroid pathologies. His research focuses on the development and validation of minimally invasive robotic techniques to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical morbidity. Dr. Rupp’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and preliminary oncological safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for early-stage laryngeal cancer, a landmark study that has garnered 77 citations and helped pave the way for organ-preserving approaches in laryngology. He has also been instrumental in introducing and evaluating robotic thyroid surgery in European cohorts, exploring both transaxillary and infraclavicular approaches to minimize visible scarring. His work on these novel techniques, cited over 20 times collectively, addresses critical questions of surgical utility and patient selection. Through these pioneering studies, Dr. Rupp has established himself as a key figure in translating advanced robotic platforms into practical, patient-centered surgical solutions for complex head and neck cancers.
