About
Karine Aubry is a prominent French head and neck surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for treating head and neck cancers. Working within major French cooperative groups, including GETTEC, Aubry has been at the forefront of evaluating TORS as a minimally invasive, organ-preserving alternative to conventional chemoradiotherapy for laryngopharyngeal carcinomas. Her most influential contributions include leading and co-authoring landmark multicenter studies that established the safety, oncological efficacy, and functional outcomes of TORS across diverse anatomical sites — from supraglottic larynx to pyriform sinus and posterior pharyngeal wall. Her 2012 multi-institutional prospective cohort study, accumulating 86 citations, provided critical early evidence validating TORS implementation across seven French tertiary centers, while her 2015 morbidity and mortality analysis offered an essential safety framework for the broader surgical community. Collectively, Aubry's published work has garnered over 420 citations, reflecting substantial influence on international surgical practice. Her ongoing research into airway management protocols during TORS further demonstrates a commitment to comprehensive perioperative care. For students and clinicians exploring robotic head and neck oncology, Aubry's body of work represents an indispensable evidence base for this rapidly evolving field.
