About

Franck Jegoux is a leading French head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS), for treating tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract. A key contributor to the GETTEC (Groupe d'Étude des Tumeurs de la Tête et du Cou) collaborative network, Dr. Jegoux has driven multi-institutional research that has shaped clinical practice. His most cited work, a 2022 GETTEC group survey on airway management during TORS for head and neck cancers (16 citations), provides critical safety protocols for a high-stakes procedure. He also led a landmark 2018 study evaluating TORS for benign tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract (12 citations), demonstrating the technique's efficacy and safety across six French centers. Through these contributions, Dr. Jegoux has helped establish TORS as a viable, less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, improving recovery outcomes for patients. His research continues to influence surgical guidelines and training in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, making him a respected figure in the field of robotic-assisted oncology.
