About
Linjie Ma is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in head and neck surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted parotid tumor resections. Ma’s major contribution lies in the development of the Da Vinci robot-assisted approach for deep lobe parotid benign tumors via a retroauricular hairline incision—a novel method that combines superior cosmetic outcomes with reduced surgical morbidity. This landmark 2024 study, already garnering 3 citations, represents a significant shift from traditional facelift or transcervical approaches, offering patients hidden scars and faster recovery. Ma’s research addresses a critical gap in parotid surgery, where deep lobe tumors pose technical challenges due to proximity to the facial nerve. By demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this robotic technique, Ma has opened new avenues for scarless, nerve-sparing surgery. Beyond this work, Ma’s broader impact includes advancing the integration of robotic platforms in otolaryngology, with potential applications extending to other head and neck pathologies. For students and researchers, Ma exemplifies how innovative surgical design can transform patient care, blending precision engineering with clinical empathy.
