About
Dr. Tzu-Peng Lee is a head and neck surgeon whose research centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oral cavity cancers, particularly in patients with complex presentations such as trismus. His most cited work, a 2025 retrospective evaluation of TORS glossectomy in oral tongue cancer patients with trismus, demonstrates that trismus does not compromise surgical or functional outcomes when using robotic techniques. The study achieved negative margins in 98.5% of cases, with minimal aesthetic impact and no external scars—a significant advancement for preserving quality of life. With 3 citations already, this work highlights Dr. Lee’s focus on expanding surgical candidacy and improving oncologic outcomes for traditionally challenging cases. His contributions underscore the feasibility of TORS in managing advanced oral tongue cancers, offering patients effective cancer control without disfiguring surgery. Dr. Lee’s research is pivotal for surgeons seeking to integrate robotic approaches into complex head and neck oncology, emphasizing both safety and patient-centered outcomes.
