He is particularly skilled in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches, including transoral laser microsurgery and robotic head-neck surgery, which allow for precise tumor removal with reduced morbidity and faster recovery. His surgical practice emphasizes oncological completeness combined with functional and aesthetic preservation, ensuring patients maintain quality of life after cancer treatment.
