About
Stefan Mattheis is a prominent head and neck surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His research focuses on minimally invasive surgical approaches for head and neck tumors, with particular expertise in robotic surgical systems, instrumentation, and oncologic outcomes. Mattheis has been instrumental in pioneering the clinical adoption of the Flex Robotic System in Europe, leading both single-center and multicenter prospective studies that established its safety and efficacy. His 2016 multicenter European trial (108 citations) and companion study of 40 patients (95 citations) remain foundational references in the field, collectively demonstrating the system's viability as an alternative to conventional transoral laser microsurgery. Beyond robotic platforms, he has contributed comparative analyses of surgical resection tools, novel retractor designs, and even robotic applications in endoscopic orbital decompression, reflecting a broad innovative scope. His early German-language publications helped introduce TORS to European clinical communities at a time when adoption outside North America was limited. With over 360 cumulative citations across his key works, Mattheis stands as a leading voice in the evolution of robot-assisted head and neck oncology.
