About

Dr. Philippe Schultz is a leading French head and neck surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for complex aerodigestive tract cancers. His work has significantly shaped perioperative safety protocols, most notably through a landmark 2022 GETTEC group survey that systematically analyzed airway management strategies during TORS for head and neck malignancies—a study that has garnered 16 citations and become a key reference for surgical teams worldwide. Dr. Schultz also contributed pioneering evidence on the application of TORS for rare salivary carcinomas of the base of tongue, as detailed in his 2025 multicenter REFCOR study. Beyond these specific contributions, his broader impact lies in refining robotic surgical approaches to reduce morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety. As an active member of the French GETTEC and REFCOR networks, Dr. Schultz continues to drive collaborative research that defines best practices in head and neck oncology, making him a vital figure for students and clinicians interested in the evolution of robotic surgery.
