About

Bruno Galletti is a pioneering otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the application of trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) beyond its traditional oncologic boundaries. His research focuses on expanding the therapeutic utility of robotic platforms, particularly for benign conditions of the upper aerodigestive tract. Galletti’s most cited work, a 2016 study comparing TORS and coblation for tongue reduction in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), has garnered 55 citations and sparked critical debate on surgical technologies versus techniques. He further demonstrated TORS’ versatility through a systematic review (38 citations) highlighting its efficacy in non-malignant pathologies, and a pioneering case series (10 citations) establishing TORS as a viable treatment for refractory lingual tonsillitis—a condition often overlooked in clinical practice. Additionally, his contributions to intraoperative neural monitoring in thyroid surgery underscore his commitment to surgical safety and precision. With a career marked by innovative applications of robotic surgery, Galletti has reshaped treatment paradigms for both common and complex airway disorders, earning recognition as a leader in minimally invasive head and neck surgery.
