About
Yu-Jih Su is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive oncologic surgery, particularly for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. His most notable contribution is the development of a robotic nasopharyngectomy technique via a combined transnasal and transoral approach, which he detailed in his 2018 study. This innovative procedure offers a safe and effective alternative for patients with locally recurrent disease, achieving good local control while reducing morbidity compared to traditional open surgery. Though his landmark paper has garnered 3 citations, its clinical significance is underscored by its role in advancing robotic head and neck surgery. Su’s research bridges the gap between surgical precision and patient quality of life, demonstrating how robotic platforms can be adapted for complex anatomical regions. His work has influenced surgical protocols in otolaryngology, particularly for challenging nasopharyngeal tumors, and continues to inspire further exploration into robotic-assisted approaches for head and neck cancers.
