About

Kwang Jae Cho is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on advanced reconstructive techniques following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancers. His primary research areas include minimally invasive surgical oncology, flap reconstruction, and the prevention of postoperative complications. Cho’s major contribution lies in refining the use of local flaps—such as the buccinator myomucosal flap—to prevent soft tissue necrosis and pharyngocutaneous fistulas after TORS, a critical advancement that improves patient recovery and functional outcomes. His 2022 paper, "Role of local flaps in the prevention of soft tissue necrosis after transoral robotic surgery for tonsillar cancer," though early in citation impact, underscores his pioneering role in integrating reconstructive principles with robotic techniques. Cho’s work has been instrumental in establishing protocols that reduce morbidity in head and neck cancer patients, and he is recognized for bridging surgical innovation with practical, patient-centered care. His ongoing research continues to shape best practices in oncologic head and neck surgery, making him a key figure in the evolution of transoral robotic approaches.
