About

Dr. C. Arturo Solares is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive, transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the treatment of aerodigestive tract malignancies. His major contributions lie in advancing surgical techniques that reduce morbidity while preserving oncologic outcomes. His seminal 2007 paper, "Transoral Robot‐Assisted CO₂ Laser Supraglottic Laryngectomy," with 158 citations, established a foundational framework for combining robotic precision with laser ablation, demonstrating improved postoperative function and decreased complications compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Solares has also innovated in the realm of submandibular gland removal, as evidenced by his 2012 work on trans-oral robotic approaches, and has explored the utility of narrowband imaging (NBI) to enhance diagnostic accuracy for unknown primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma prior to TORS. His research has been instrumental in refining how surgeons identify and treat these challenging cases, directly impacting patient outcomes. With a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of robotic surgery, Dr. Solares continues to shape the future of otolaryngology and head and neck oncology.
