About

Dr. Oladejo Olaleye is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research centers on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract. His major contributions lie in evaluating and validating novel robotic platforms to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. Notably, his 2021 study on the Medrobotics Flex® system for head and neck cancers, which has garnered 8 citations, established a foundational cohort demonstrating the system's clinical feasibility. More recently, his 2024 IDEAL stage 0 preclinical study assessed the Versius Surgical System, a new robotic platform, for TORS in a cadaveric model—a critical step in bringing next-generation robotics into the operating room. Beyond robotics, Dr. Olaleye has advanced diagnostic techniques, as shown in his 2022 work on laser tongue base mucosectomy for managing unknown primary head and neck cancers, a procedure that identified malignancies in 78% of cases per meta-analysis. His work bridges innovation and practicality, offering surgeons alternative tools when robotic access is limited. With a growing citation impact and a focus on early-stage technology assessment, Dr. Olaleye is shaping the future of minimally invasive head and neck surgery.
