About

Dr. Nasser Nadjmi is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose research centers on the application of robotic technology to cleft palate surgery. His major contribution is the development and validation of Transoral Robotic Cleft Palate Surgery (TORCS), a minimally invasive technique that uses the da Vinci Surgical Robot to reconstruct soft palatal clefts. This innovative approach, detailed in his landmark 2015 paper (36 citations), aims to improve precision and reduce surgical trauma compared to traditional methods. Dr. Nadjmi's work extends to assessing functional outcomes, as shown in his 2023 study on the effect of robotic soft palate reconstruction on middle ear function in children (7 citations). By demonstrating the safety and feasibility of TORCS, he has opened a new frontier in pediatric craniofacial surgery, offering potential benefits for speech, hearing, and overall recovery. His research bridges the gap between advanced robotics and delicate reconstructive procedures, making him a key figure in the evolution of cleft care.
