About
Dr. VK Mohan is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive head and neck surgical techniques, particularly robotic thyroidectomy and trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS). His major contributions center on optimizing perioperative pain management and expanding surgical access for complex cancers. In his highly cited 2021 case series, Dr. Mohan demonstrated that ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block via the anterior route provides excellent perioperative analgesia for robotic thyroidectomy using the retroauricular (facelift) approach—a technique that traditionally causes severe pain due to extensive subcutaneous dissection. This work, with 4 citations, offers a multimodal analgesic solution that improves patient recovery and comfort. Additionally, his 2020 study on TORS for posteriorly positioned oral tongue cancers introduced a mandibulotomy-sparing approach, reducing surgical morbidity while maintaining oncologic efficacy. Though early in citation impact, these contributions highlight Dr. Mohan’s commitment to advancing robotic surgery’s safety and patient-centered outcomes. His work is particularly notable for addressing practical challenges in head and neck oncology, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
