About
Dr. Susan Germain is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS), to improve outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal and parapharyngeal space tumors. Her major contributions include evaluating innovative haemostatic agents to enhance surgical safety. In her highly cited 2022 case series, Dr. Germain demonstrated the efficacy of PuraBond®, a self-assembling topical haemostat that forms a transparent hydrogel matrix to control bleeding during TORS for oropharyngeal cancer—a critical advancement that reduces operative risks and supports faster recovery. This work has garnered 8 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on surgical practice. She has also pioneered the assessment of quality of life (QoL) following TORS resection of parapharyngeal space tumors, a 2025 study that underscores her commitment to patient-centered outcomes. By integrating novel biomaterials with robotic precision, Dr. Germain is shaping the future of head and neck oncology, offering safer, less invasive options for complex tumors. Her research bridges surgical innovation and patient well-being, making her a leading voice in the field.
