About
Justine Lerat is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has helped establish transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a viable, minimally invasive treatment for head and neck cancers. Her key research focuses on the application of robotic techniques to resect tumors in complex anatomical locations, aiming to improve patient outcomes while reducing the morbidity associated with traditional open surgery. In her landmark 2011 study, "Transoral robotic surgery for head and neck cancer: A series of 17 cases," she demonstrated the feasibility and safety of TORS, earning 39 citations and setting a foundation for broader clinical adoption. A subsequent paper on TORS for various cancer localizations further solidified her contributions, detailing successful resections in 13 patients at Limoges University Hospital. With a cumulative impact of over 50 citations from these early works, Lerat’s research has been instrumental in advancing robotic surgical oncology, offering patients less invasive options with faster recovery. Her work remains a key reference for surgeons and researchers exploring the frontiers of robotic head and neck surgery.
