About
Neerav Goyal is a head and neck surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for the treatment of laryngeal and oropharyngeal malignancies. His research has focused primarily on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with particular emphasis on developing and refining approaches that reduce the significant morbidity traditionally associated with open head and neck procedures. Goyal has made notable contributions through his cadaveric and clinical investigations of the Medrobotics Flex Robotic System, one of the earliest researchers to document its application for supraglottic and total laryngectomy in the United States. His 2017 and 2018 studies, which together have garnered over 50 citations, helped establish the clinical and anatomical groundwork for this emerging platform. Complementing this work, his earlier anatomical studies using the da Vinci robot clarified the vascular and muscular architecture of the supraglottic larynx and oropharynx from a robotic surgical perspective — resources that remain valuable for surgeons navigating this technically demanding field. Beyond oncologic applications, Goyal has explored novel frontiers including transoral thyroidectomy and flexible robotic surgery in pediatric populations, demonstrating a commitment to expanding minimally invasive options across diverse patient groups throughout his career.
