About
Maxime Goffinet is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a specialized focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for rare and complex salivary gland tumors. His most-cited work, a multicenter REFCOR study on TORS for salivary carcinomas of the base of tongue, has already garnered 2 citations since its 2025 publication, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Goffinet’s primary contributions lie in advancing minimally invasive techniques for oropharyngeal malignancies, particularly in challenging anatomical sites where traditional open surgery carries significant morbidity. By demonstrating the feasibility and oncologic safety of robotic approaches for base-of-tongue salivary carcinomas, he has expanded treatment options for patients with these rare tumors. His research is notable for its collaborative, multi-institutional design, leveraging the robust REFCOR network to generate high-quality evidence. Goffinet’s work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, offering a paradigm shift toward less invasive, function-preserving surgery. For students and researchers in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, his studies underscore the potential of robotic platforms to redefine standards of care for rare malignancies, making him a pivotal voice in the evolving landscape of transoral oncology.
