About

C. Galy-Bernadoy is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of head and neck oncology, particularly through the application of robotic surgical techniques. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive approaches for treating cancers of the larynx and thyroid, aiming to improve patient outcomes while reducing surgical morbidity. In her landmark 2013 study on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for early-stage laryngeal carcinoma—cited 77 times—she demonstrated the feasibility of this technique, providing critical preliminary oncological results that helped pave the way for its broader adoption. Galy-Bernadoy also contributed to the European experience with transaxillary robotic thyroid surgery, showing its viability in a Western patient cohort. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic approaches can offer safe, effective alternatives to traditional open surgery, with potential benefits in recovery and cosmetic outcomes. Through these contributions, she has established herself as a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery, influencing both clinical practice and future research directions.
