About
Paulette Pacheco-Lopez is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical robotics, with a specific focus on head and neck microsurgery. Her key research areas include the design, implementation, and clinical evaluation of robotic systems for minimally invasive procedures, particularly in otolaryngology. Her most notable contribution is the development and preliminary evaluation of the Robotic ENT Microsurgery System (REMS), a novel microsurgical robotic platform. In her highly cited 2014 paper, she demonstrated the system’s feasibility using a simulated microlaryngeal phonosurgery task, establishing a critical foundation for robotic-assisted precision in delicate head and neck surgeries. This work has garnered 23 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing surgical technology. Pacheco-Lopez’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a pathway to enhanced surgical accuracy and patient outcomes. Her achievements highlight her role as a key innovator in translating robotic systems from concept to practical surgical application, making her work essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of minimally invasive surgery.
