About
Dr. Philippe Cornu is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research focuses on the intersection of robotic surgery and skull base anatomy. His major contributions lie in developing minimally invasive approaches to the sella turcica, a critical region of the skull base, through transoral robotic-assisted techniques. His most cited work, a 2014 cadaveric study (40 citations), demonstrated the feasibility of using robotic systems to access this deep-seated area via the oral cavity, potentially reducing the morbidity of traditional open surgeries. A subsequent pilot study (12 citations) further refined the anatomical parameters for this approach, mapping the precise corridors and obstacles within the oral cavity and skull base. Dr. Cornu’s research has laid foundational groundwork for integrating robotics into skull base surgery, offering new possibilities for treating pituitary tumors and other sellar pathologies with enhanced precision and safety. His work is notable for bridging the gap between surgical robotics and complex cranial anatomy, establishing a framework that continues to inspire clinical translation and further innovation in the field.
