About

Dr. Sandeep Dhaliwal is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly in Canada. His research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating head and neck cancers, with a major contribution being the development and implementation of a TORS program at Western University. Dr. Dhaliwal’s landmark paper, “Transoral robotic total laryngectomy: Report of 3 cases” (2013, 73 citations), demonstrated the feasibility of performing total laryngectomy using a robotic approach, offering a less morbid alternative to traditional open surgery. This work, alongside his foundational paper on establishing a TORS program in Canada (2013, 5 citations), addressed the unique barriers to adopting this technology within the Canadian healthcare system, paving the way for its broader use. By championing these innovative techniques, Dr. Dhaliwal has expanded surgical options for patients, reduced recovery times, and improved outcomes, solidifying his reputation as a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery.
