About
Dr. B. Vairel is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for both oncologic and airway disorders. Their major contributions include pioneering the use of TORS for obstructive sleep apnea, as demonstrated in their 2018 study on tongue base resection, and advancing salvage surgical techniques for recurrent head and neck cancers. A 2022 survey of the French GETTEC group, with 16 citations, established national practice patterns for airway management during TORS, directly improving perioperative safety. Dr. Vairel’s comparative study on salvage TORS (10 citations) provided crucial evidence that robotic surgery can achieve favorable functional and oncological outcomes even after prior treatment failure. Their systematic review on lingual thyroid excision (7 citations) further clarified the role of TORS in managing rare congenital conditions, offering a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. With a cumulative citation impact exceeding 40, Dr. Vairel’s work has shaped clinical guidelines for robotic head and neck surgery, bridging the gap between oncologic rigor and functional preservation. Their research continues to define best practices for complex airway and tumor management, making them a key voice in the evolution of robotic-assisted otolaryngology.
