About
Dr. Teresa Millas is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has centered on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the treatment of complex laryngeal and oropharyngeal pathologies. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and reproducibility of minimally invasive robotic approaches for rare tumors and standard oncologic resections. Notably, her 2014 study on the "Transoral robotic approach for laryngeal schwannoma" (12 citations) was among the first to show that TORS could safely excise bulky, benign laryngeal tumors while preserving function and avoiding external incisions. In parallel, her step-by-step guide to "Transoral Robotic Surgery: Radical Tonsillectomy" (12 citations) provided a critical, reproducible blueprint for surgeons adopting this technique in tonsillar cancer treatment, emphasizing precision and reduced morbidity. Though her citation counts reflect the niche nature of her field, these works have been instrumental in establishing TORS as a viable alternative to open surgery. Dr. Millas’s contributions have helped shape modern, less invasive paradigms in head and neck oncology, offering patients faster recovery and better functional outcomes.
