About
Dr. Shih-Jan Chin is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose research centers on the development and clinical translation of advanced robotic laser systems for craniofacial surgery. His most notable contribution is the clinical evaluation of the CARLO (Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome), a compact, multi-sensory device designed to perform precise, minimally invasive bone cuts. In a landmark 2024 multi-center study involving 28 patients, Dr. Chin and his team demonstrated the feasibility and safety of using CARLO for the linear portion of midface osteotomies, achieving a high success rate while maintaining a strong safety profile. This work, which has already garnered 5 citations, represents a significant step toward replacing traditional mechanical saws with cold laser technology, potentially reducing thermal damage and improving surgical precision. Dr. Chin’s research is at the forefront of integrating robotics, sensory feedback, and laser physics into clinical practice, promising to enhance patient outcomes in complex facial reconstruction. His contributions are shaping the future of computer-aided surgery in the head and neck region.
