About
Dr. D. Bakhos is a pioneering otolaryngologist whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical approaches for head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Their major contributions lie in demonstrating the efficacy and safety of robotic techniques compared to conventional surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. In a landmark 2014 study, which has garnered 55 citations, Dr. Bakhos directly compared TORS with traditional open surgery, providing critical evidence that robotic approaches can achieve comparable oncologic outcomes while potentially reducing morbidity. This work has helped shape modern treatment paradigms for patients with these challenging tumors. Additionally, Dr. Bakhos has innovated in the management of laryngoceles, a rare condition, by applying TORS techniques in a 2016 study (21 citations), expanding the indications for robotic surgery beyond cancer treatment. Their research bridges surgical innovation with clinical outcomes, offering patients less invasive options without compromising cancer control. Dr. Bakhos’s work continues to influence head and neck surgeons worldwide, advancing the field toward more precise, patient-centered care.
