About

Olivier Choussy is a leading French head and neck surgeon whose work has significantly advanced transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for upper aerodigestive tract pathologies. His research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly comparing TORS with traditional laser surgery for treating both benign tumors and supraglottic carcinomas. Choussy’s landmark contribution is the first multicentric morbidity and mortality review of TORS in France, a study cited over 70 times that established critical safety benchmarks for the procedure. He further demonstrated the versatility of robotic resection for benign tumors through a six-center retrospective analysis, providing foundational evidence for expanding TORS indications. His recent expert consensus work on supraglottic carcinoma management reflects his ongoing influence in shaping clinical guidelines. As a key member of the French GETTEC group, Choussy has been instrumental in standardizing robotic surgical protocols nationally. His cumulative work, with papers garnering dozens of citations, has helped position France as a leader in transoral robotic surgery while providing surgeons worldwide with essential data on outcomes, safety, and patient selection for these innovative approaches.
