About

Aina Brunet is a head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on the implementation and integration of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) into routine oncological care. Her most-cited paper, "Establishing and integrating a transoral robotic surgery programme into routine oncological management of head and neck cancer – a UK perspective" (2022, 4 citations), provides a practical blueprint for centres seeking to adopt this complex, minimally invasive technique. Brunet’s major contribution lies in outlining the organisational, logistical, and clinical challenges of launching a TORS programme, offering a replicable model that bridges surgical innovation with real-world clinical practice. While her citation count is still growing, her work is foundational for surgeons and institutions navigating the early stages of robotic surgery adoption. By detailing the stepwise integration of TORS into multidisciplinary head and neck cancer management, Brunet has helped demystify the process, making advanced surgical options more accessible. Her research underscores the importance of structured implementation strategies in improving patient outcomes and expanding the role of robotics in oncology.
