About
Dr. Ruy Gomes is a pioneering Brazilian head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive oncologic surgery, particularly within public healthcare systems. His most notable contribution is the introduction and evaluation of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal and supraglottic larynx tumors, a field made increasingly relevant by the rise of HPV-related cancers. In his landmark 2018 study, Dr. Gomes demonstrated the feasibility and oncological outcomes of TORS within the Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS), a critical achievement that bridges cutting-edge technology with equitable, resource-limited care. This work, cited 5 times, serves as a foundational reference for implementing robotic surgery in public health settings. Beyond this, Dr. Gomes’s research portfolio reflects a deep commitment to surgical innovation, patient safety, and expanding access to advanced treatments. His efforts have positioned him as a key figure in Latin American head and neck oncology, inspiring a new generation of surgeons to integrate technology with public health priorities.
