About

Antoine Moya‐Plana is a leading surgeon and researcher specializing in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on oropharyngeal and skull base tumors. His work has been instrumental in advancing the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted salvage surgery for patients with recurrent oropharyngeal carcinoma following radiotherapy. In a prospective longitudinal study (18 citations), Moya‐Plana demonstrated that robotic-assisted salvage surgery can preserve quality of life and functional outcomes, offering a vital second chance to patients with limited options. He has also pioneered the integration of TORS with free flap reconstruction for complex pharyngeal defects (16 citations), establishing new protocols for managing extensive tumors. His early assessment of the da Vinci Xi system (28 citations) provided critical technical insights that helped standardize robotic surgical approaches. Additionally, Moya‐Plana has explored multiportal skull base surgery, combining endoscopic transnasal and transoral robotic techniques to treat challenging nasopharyngeal tumors. His work bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive head and neck oncology.
