About
Dr. Bruno Alburquerque Sousa is a pioneering Brazilian head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive oncologic surgery within public healthcare systems. His primary research focuses on the implementation and outcomes of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal and supraglottic laryngeal tumors, particularly in the context of rising HPV-related cancers. His landmark 2018 study, "Experience with the introduction of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) at an oncologic hospital of the Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS)," with 5 citations, is a seminal contribution demonstrating the feasibility and oncological efficacy of integrating cutting-edge robotic technology into a resource-limited public health setting. This work not only validated TORS as a viable treatment option in Brazil but also provided a replicable model for other developing healthcare systems. Dr. Sousa’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between high-cost surgical innovation and equitable access, showing that advanced techniques can be successfully deployed in the SUS. His research has profound implications for expanding surgical oncology options to underserved populations, making him a key figure in global efforts to democratize robotic surgery.
