About

Christelle Pouliquen is a pioneering researcher in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in laser-tissue interactions and transoral robotic surgery. Her most-cited work, "The True Ablation Effect of Holmium YAG Laser on Soft Tissue" (2018, 53 citations), fundamentally redefines the clinical understanding of the Ho:YAG laser's capabilities. By distinguishing between the physical penetration depth and the actual incision depth achievable in soft tissue, Pouliquen challenged long-held assumptions, providing critical insights that enhance surgical precision and safety in laryngeal and airway procedures. This contribution has significant implications for optimizing laser parameters in minimally invasive surgeries. Additionally, her study "Limitations of Transoral Robotic Total Laryngectomy" (2020, 4 citations) critically evaluates the boundaries of robotic-assisted techniques, offering a balanced perspective that guides surgeons in patient selection and procedural planning. Through her work, Pouliquen bridges the gap between fundamental physics and clinical application, advancing both the efficacy and safety of modern surgical technologies. Her research continues to inform best practices in head and neck oncology, making her a valuable voice in the evolution of laser and robotic surgery.
