About

Bindy Sahota is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on functional outcomes following transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with a particular emphasis on swallowing and speech recovery. Her most-cited work, a 2024 retrospective cohort study, systematically compares how different surgical sites within the head and neck affect these critical functions after TORS. By demonstrating that the location of robotic resection significantly influences postoperative swallowing and speech results, Sahota provides evidence-based guidance for surgical planning and patient counseling. This contribution is especially valuable as TORS becomes a standard minimally invasive approach, where preserving quality of life is paramount. Her research helps refine patient selection and postoperative expectations, directly impacting clinical decision-making. While her citation count is early in her career, her work addresses a pressing clinical question: how to balance oncologic control with functional preservation. Sahota’s findings are already informing discussions among head and neck surgeons, and her ongoing investigations promise to further optimize outcomes for patients undergoing robotic surgery for upper aerodigestive tract tumors.
