About

Bruno Krug is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a primary focus on optimizing treatment for laryngeal and supraglottic cancers through advanced, minimally invasive technologies. His major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of surgical approaches, particularly in evaluating the clinical and economic trade-offs between traditional open surgery, transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), and transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His highly cited 2014 study, with 75 citations, provides a critical cost comparison of these techniques for partial and total laryngectomies, offering essential data for clinical decision-making and healthcare resource allocation. More recently, Krug is spearheading the SUPRA-QoL project, an ambitious prospective observational study that holistically assesses oncological outcomes, functional recovery, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness in supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. This work underscores his commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care, moving beyond mere survival statistics to evaluate the real-world impact of modern organ-sparing strategies. Through his rigorous comparative research, Krug is shaping the future of laryngeal cancer treatment, helping to define the optimal role of robotic and laser technologies in improving both survival and quality of life.
