About
Dr. Keith Volner is a surgeon-scientist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive head and neck surgery, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and airway protection. His most cited work, "Utilization of Silicone Sheet as a Protective Guide During Transoral Robotic Tongue Base Surgery" (2021), introduces a practical, low-cost technique using a silicone sheet to shield upper airway structures from thermal injury during TORS tongue base procedures. In a review of 10 cases, Dr. Volner demonstrated zero complications, offering a simple yet impactful innovation that enhances surgical safety. While his citation count reflects the early stage of his career, this contribution underscores his commitment to refining robotic surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Volner’s research bridges the gap between technical precision and clinical practicality, making him a rising voice in otolaryngology. His work is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking reproducible methods to reduce morbidity in complex airway surgeries, signaling a promising trajectory in the field of robotic-assisted head and neck oncology.
