About

Mayo Clinic stands at the forefront of surgical robotics and minimally invasive medicine, blending its world-renowned clinical expertise with rigorous scientific inquiry to shape how complex procedures are performed globally. With a research portfolio spanning robotic urology, head and neck oncology, gynecologic surgery, transplantation, and orthopedics, Mayo's investigators consistently produce landmark studies that redefine standards of care across specialties. Perhaps most prominently, Mayo Clinic has been a defining force in transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with multiple high-impact multicenter studies establishing the safety, feasibility, and oncologic efficacy of robotic approaches to oropharyngeal cancers — work that has collectively garnered nearly 1,700 citations and directly influenced surgical practice worldwide. Equally significant are the institution's contributions to robotic urologic surgery, including early investigations into robotic partial nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy cost analysis, and credentialing frameworks for robotic urologists, papers that helped professionalize and standardize an entire surgical subspecialty during its formative years. Beyond surgical technique, Mayo researchers have contributed to biomaterials innovation — notably multifunctional hydrogel surfaces with direct biomedical device applications — and to evidence-based guideline development in pancreatic and abdominal wall surgery. The institution's 2023 liver transplantation status report further reflects Mayo's expansive translational reach. Home to specialized centers in robotic surgery, transplantation, and cancer care, Mayo Clinic offers prospective students and collaborators an unparalleled environment where clinical volume, technological infrastructure, and interdisciplinary collaboration converge. Researchers here do not merely study surgical innovation — they define it, producing work that shapes training, policy, and patient outcomes on a global scale.
