About

Sureerat Reaugamornrat has made pioneering contributions to the intersection of robotics and medical imaging, with a primary focus on advancing intraoperative guidance for transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her research addresses critical challenges in oropharyngeal cancer treatment, including limited surgical access, inability to palpate tumors, and loss of anatomical landmarks during procedures. Reaugamornrat’s landmark work, "Toward intraoperative image-guided transoral robotic surgery" (2013, 22 citations), established foundational frameworks for integrating real-time imaging with robotic platforms. She further validated these concepts through preclinical studies (2014, 18 citations), demonstrating how intraoperative image guidance can compensate for the distorted anatomy caused by patient positioning and mouth retraction. Her contributions are particularly notable for tackling the unique difficulties of TORS, where traditional surgical cues are compromised. By enabling surgeons to visualize tumor boundaries and critical structures during robotic procedures, Reaugamornrat’s research has directly improved the precision and safety of minimally invasive head and neck cancer surgeries. Her work continues to influence the development of smarter, image-aware robotic systems, making her a key figure in the evolution of computer-assisted surgery.
