About

Luke Mattey is a rising surgical innovator whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and advanced robotic techniques. His primary research focus is the refinement of minimally invasive approaches for treating salivary gland disorders and oropharyngeal pathologies. Mattey’s most notable contribution is his pioneering systematic review and meta-analysis comparing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to conventional transoral surgery for the management of submandibular stones. This 2025 study, already garnering 4 citations in a short time, critically evaluates the efficacy, safety, and recovery outcomes of robotic-assisted procedures, providing early evidence that TORS may offer superior precision and reduced morbidity for patients with sialolithiasis. By systematically synthesizing available data, Mattey has helped establish a clearer evidence base for adopting robotic platforms in the oral floor—an area traditionally challenging for surgeons. His work signals a shift toward more targeted, less invasive treatments in head and neck surgery. As a researcher actively shaping the next generation of surgical protocols, Mattey’s contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians and trainees seeking to understand the practical advantages and limitations of emerging robotic technologies in everyday otolaryngologic practice.
