About the UPMC Center for Robotic Head and Neck Surgery
Our center is part of the UPMC Department of Otolaryngology, a world leader in the field of ear, nose, and throat clinical care and research.
Dedicated to the care of people with noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) diseases of the head and neck, we provide a multidisciplinary approach to afford the best minimally invasive surgical techniques.
At the Forefront of Robotic Surgery
The center is a pioneer in performing robotic head and neck surgery in western Pennsylvania and the tristate (Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia) area, and is one of the highest volume centers in the country.
UPMC has the largest number of robotic surgery systems and the largest number of dual-console robotic systems in North America. This allows a team of surgeons to operate simultaneously, and foster a truly comprehensive and collaborative approach to surgical care, keeping UPMC at the forefront of robotic surgery.
The center is also actively engaged in collaborating with the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University to develop and optimize cutting-edge robotic technologies.
