    Collapse overview
    Zhen Gooi, MD, specializes in the care of patients with benign and malignant head and neck tumors. Within the field of head and neck surgery, his clinical interests are microvascular (free flap) reconstruction of the head and neck, and transoral robotic surgery, a minimally invasive treatment approach for selected head and neck tumors that avoids the need for traditional neck, jaw and throat incisions.

    Dr. Gooi is the author of numerous peer-reviewed articles and educational videos related to head and neck cancer and reconstruction. He has presented at numerous international conferences and serves as an invited reviewer for the journal Head and Neck.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
