About
Dr. Jenq‐Yuh Ko is a distinguished otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive salivary gland surgery. His primary focus lies in developing and refining robotic surgical techniques for benign submandibular gland tumors, with a particular emphasis on gland-preserving approaches that reduce morbidity and improve cosmetic outcomes. His landmark 2014 study comparing robotic and open techniques demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery for these tumors, achieving 18 citations and establishing a new paradigm in gland preservation. Dr. Ko’s work has been instrumental in shifting clinical practice away from complete gland excision toward more targeted, functional preservation. His contributions have not only enhanced surgical precision but also improved patient quality of life by minimizing scarring and preserving salivary function. Through his innovative research, Dr. Ko has become a leading voice in the integration of robotics into otolaryngology, inspiring a generation of surgeons to explore less invasive alternatives for head and neck pathologies.
