About
Dr. Lan Kluwe is a leading researcher in craniofacial surgery and medical robotics, with a focus on advancing precision and safety in complex bone procedures. Her most notable contribution is the development and clinical evaluation of the CARLO (Cold Ablation Robot-guided Laser Osteotome), a compact, multi-sensory device designed for midface osteotomies. In a landmark 2024 multi-center study involving 28 patients, Dr. Kluwe and her team demonstrated the feasibility and high success rate of CARLO in performing linear midface cuts, while rigorously assessing its safety through integrated steering and checking mechanisms. This work, which has already garnered significant attention, represents a major step toward minimally invasive, robot-assisted craniofacial surgery, reducing trauma and improving outcomes for patients. Dr. Kluwe’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, and her ongoing efforts continue to shape the future of laser-based surgical tools.
