About
Dr. Justin Kemper is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex aerodigestive tract pathologies. His primary research focuses on the development and validation of novel robotic-assisted approaches to the larynx, hypopharynx, and cervical lymphatics. Dr. Kemper’s major contribution is the introduction of the robotic-assisted extended “Sistrunk” approach (RESA), a groundbreaking procedure that leverages the da Vinci Xi and SP systems to access traditionally difficult-to-reach anatomical regions. This work, detailed in his 2020 publication, demonstrates the feasibility of performing supraglottic laryngectomies and other resections through a single-port, transoral or transcervical corridor, potentially reducing morbidity compared to open surgery. While his citation count is still growing, the RESA technique represents a significant conceptual leap in endoscopic head and neck oncology. Dr. Kemper’s research is notable for its direct clinical applicability, offering a roadmap for future trials that could expand surgical options for patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers, ultimately aiming to improve functional outcomes and quality of life.
