About

Dr. Vincent Bachy is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His research centers on applying robotic platforms—including the da Vinci and Medrobotics Flex™ systems—to minimally invasive procedures for laryngeal and pharyngeal tumors. Dr. Bachy’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of TORS for total and supraglottic laryngectomy, as documented in his highly cited papers (115 and 82 citations, respectively). He also established the learning curve for TORS (110 citations), providing essential guidance for surgical training. Notably, he performed the first human application of the Medrobotics Flex™ System (121 citations), a landmark achievement in surgical robotics. His innovative work combining a CO₂ laser waveguide with TORS (46 citations) further expanded treatment precision. With cumulative citations exceeding 500, Dr. Bachy’s research has directly shaped modern, less invasive approaches to head and neck cancer surgery, improving patient recovery and outcomes. His pioneering studies remain essential reading for surgeons and researchers advancing robotic oncology.
