About
Dr. Geoff Robb is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for reconstructive procedures. His research centers on the intersection of robotic technology and microvascular free flap reconstruction, particularly for oropharyngeal defects following cancer resection. Robb’s landmark preclinical investigation, “Transoral Robotic Free Flap Reconstruction of Oropharyngeal Defects,” published in 2010 with over 60 citations, demonstrated the technical feasibility of performing complex reconstructions entirely through the mouth using the da Vinci robotic system. This work established a new paradigm for minimally invasive reconstruction, reducing the need for external incisions and improving functional outcomes for patients. As a co-author on this foundational study alongside leading figures like Dr. Jesse Selber, Robb helped validate a technique that has since been adopted in major cancer centers worldwide. His contributions have been instrumental in shaping how surgeons approach oropharyngeal reconstruction, earning him recognition as a key innovator in robotic head and neck surgery.
