About
Jean-Pierre Jeannon is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of oncological surgery, robotics, and functional preservation. He has emerged as a leading voice in advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and its expanding frontiers. His highly cited 2022 systematic review on carcinoma of unknown primary (36 citations) demonstrates his commitment to evidence-based practice in diagnostically challenging cases, while his influential 2018 paper on next-generation robotic surgery (23 citations) charted a visionary course for the field following TORS's inception in 2005. Jeannon has been instrumental in exploring novel anatomical corridors for robotic access, including groundbreaking feasibility work combining transorbital and transnasal approaches to the skull base (18 citations). His development of robotic-assisted orbital surgery for periocular and orbital tumours represents a bold extension of robotic oncology into previously uncharted surgical territory. Through preclinical evaluation and first-in-human studies of emerging platforms such as the Versius Surgical System, Jeannon continues to shape the next generation of surgical robotics, consistently prioritising patient safety, functional outcomes, and reduced surgical morbidity.
