About

Dr. Jennifer Bruening is a leading surgeon-scientist advancing the field of head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on transoral robotic-assisted surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer. Her major contributions center on optimizing robotic surgical techniques and systematically comparing emerging robotic platforms to improve patient outcomes. In her highly cited 2023 study, "Comparison of da Vinci Single Port vs Si Systems for Transoral Robotic-Assisted Surgery" (22 citations), Dr. Bruening provided critical clinical outcomes data and shared essential learning experiences for surgeons adopting new robotic iterations. This work has become a foundational reference for the field, directly impacting technical efficiency and safety in TORS procedures. Her research bridges the gap between technological innovation and practical surgical application, helping to shape best practices in minimally invasive cancer treatment. Dr. Bruening’s work is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapid evolution of robotic systems, and her findings continue to influence how head and neck cancers are treated with greater precision and reduced morbidity.
