About

H. Chapuis is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive head and neck surgery. His research centers on the application of robotic technology to treat complex pathologies of the larynx and thyroid, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing surgical morbidity. Chapuis’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and oncological safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for early-stage laryngeal cancer. His landmark 2013 study, cited 77 times, provided crucial preliminary evidence that TORS could effectively treat T1–T2 laryngeal carcinomas, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open procedures. Beyond the larynx, Chapuis has been instrumental in evaluating novel surgical approaches for thyroid disease. His work on transaxillary robotic thyroid surgery, detailed in a 2013 paper with 13 citations, represents one of the first European experiences with this technique, establishing its viability and safety in a Western patient population. Through these pioneering studies, Chapuis has helped define the role of robotics in head and neck oncology, laying the groundwork for broader adoption and further innovation in the field.
