About
Christian von Buchwald is a Danish head and neck surgeon and clinical researcher based at Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, whose work sits at the intersection of surgical oncology, minimally invasive robotics, and molecular imaging. He has made substantial contributions to the management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. His pioneering Scandinavian work on TORS for squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary has helped establish robotic surgery as a valuable strategy for identifying occult primary tumours, improving detection rates in a historically challenging patient group. Alongside this, von Buchwald has investigated long-term quality of life and functional outcomes following TORS versus radiotherapy, providing critical comparative evidence to guide treatment decisions. He has also contributed to innovative molecular imaging research, including uPAR-targeted near-infrared fluorescence and PET-guided surgery, supporting more precise tumour resection. His papers have collectively accumulated over 300 citations, reflecting meaningful influence across surgical oncology and imaging communities. Additional work on robotic surgical simulation training underscores his commitment to advancing the next generation of surgeons in this rapidly evolving field.
