About
Dr. K. Samoy is a head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex anatomical regions, particularly the parapharyngeal space (PPS). Their major contribution lies in pioneering the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for benign parapharyngeal tumors, as demonstrated in their most-cited paper, "Transoral robotic surgery for parapharyngeal lesions: a case series of four benign tumours" (2015, 6 citations). This study showcased the feasibility of using the daVinci robotic system to access the PPS—a challenging area near critical neurovascular structures—offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open approaches, with reduced morbidity and improved recovery. Though their citation count is modest, Samoy’s work represents a foundational step in expanding TORS applications, highlighting the potential for robotic precision in head and neck oncology. Their research underscores a commitment to surgical innovation, bridging technology and clinical practice to improve outcomes for patients with anatomically intricate tumors. For students and researchers, Samoy’s contributions illustrate the early-stage impact of robotic surgery in otolaryngology, inspiring further exploration into minimally invasive solutions for complex head and neck pathologies.
