About
Dr. Ozlem E. Tulunay-Ugur is a leading head and neck surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advanced laryngology, transoral robotic surgery, and organ-preserving oncologic techniques. Her most notable contribution is pioneering the transoral robotic supracricoid partial laryngectomy with cartilaginous framework preservation, a minimally invasive procedure that offers patients with laryngeal cancer a chance to retain speech and swallowing function without compromising oncologic outcomes. This landmark 2012 study, cited over 10 times, has helped reshape surgical approaches in head and neck oncology. Beyond this, Dr. Tulunay-Ugur has published extensively on voice restoration, dysphagia management, and the integration of robotic platforms in complex airway surgeries. Her work is widely recognized for bridging technical innovation with functional preservation, earning her a reputation as a thought leader in laryngeal preservation. She has also contributed to international guidelines on transoral surgery and serves as a mentor to aspiring otolaryngologists, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered outcomes. With a career marked by both clinical excellence and impactful research, Dr. Tulunay-Ugur continues to advance the field of head and neck surgery, improving quality of life for patients worldwide.
