About
Dr. Valentine Poissonnet is a leading French head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for complex aerodigestive tract cancers. Her major contributions center on refining airway management protocols during TORS, as demonstrated in her landmark 2022 study surveying the French GETTEC group, which has garnered 16 citations and established critical safety benchmarks for anesthesiologists and surgeons. More recently, her 2025 multicenter REFCOR study explores the novel application of TORS for salivary carcinomas of the base of tongue, a challenging anatomical subsite, opening new frontiers in organ-preserving oncology. Dr. Poissonnet’s work directly impacts clinical decision-making by providing evidence-based guidelines that reduce perioperative complications while expanding the scope of robotic surgery. Her research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and practical patient safety, making her a key figure in the evolution of transoral approaches. For students and researchers, her bibliography exemplifies how targeted, multicenter collaboration can translate technical advances into reproducible clinical standards.
