About
Dr. Tsung-Lin Yang is a pioneer in robotic head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in developing minimally invasive, scar-sparing techniques for treating submandibular gland diseases and cervical lymphatic malformations. His major contribution lies in the innovation of the trans-hairline and retroauricular approaches, which eliminate the visible neck scars associated with traditional open surgery. Dr. Yang has led the first human series of robotic submandibular gland resection through a trans-hairline approach (22 citations) and has systematically compared robotic and open techniques for benign tumors (18 citations), demonstrating superior cosmetic outcomes. He has also advanced the field by exploring novel flexible single-port robotic systems to overcome the limitations of bulky multi-arm platforms (14 citations). Beyond gland surgery, Dr. Yang has successfully applied his robotic techniques to pediatric patients, performing the first robot-assisted excision of cervical cystic hygroma and extending transhairline robotic excision to children with lymphatic malformations. His work is highly impactful, consistently cited for its clinical innovation in merging superior surgical outcomes with exceptional cosmetic results.
