About
Jean Von Tan is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work has significantly advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly in head and neck oncology. Her research focuses on the feasibility, technical nuances, and clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted procedures, with a key contribution being the early assessment of the da Vinci Xi system for TORS. In her landmark 2017 study, cited 28 times, Tan provided critical insights into the specific technical requirements and safety profiles of this platform, helping to standardize surgical protocols and expand the application of minimally invasive techniques for oropharyngeal cancers. Her work has directly influenced the adoption of robotic surgery in complex anatomical regions, reducing patient morbidity and improving recovery times. Beyond her citation impact, Tan is recognized for her role in training surgeons in robotic techniques and for advocating for evidence-based integration of new technologies into clinical practice. Her contributions have not only shaped current surgical approaches but also laid the groundwork for future innovations in robotic head and neck surgery.
