About
Dr. Julia Mattos Levi is a pioneering Brazilian surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of robotic technology in head and neck oncology, with a particular focus on expanding access to advanced surgical care within public health systems. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and oncological safety of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal and supraglottic larynx tumors, especially those linked to HPV, within the resource-constrained environment of the Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS). Her landmark 2018 study, which has garnered 5 citations, provides critical evidence that sophisticated, minimally invasive techniques can be successfully implemented in public hospitals, offering patients reduced morbidity without compromising cancer control. This work not only validates TORS as a viable option in low- and middle-income settings but also establishes a reproducible model for technology transfer. Dr. Levi’s research is instrumental in bridging the gap between surgical innovation and equitable healthcare delivery, making her a key figure in global efforts to democratize access to cutting-edge oncologic surgery.
