 Hi, my name is Kyle Hatton. I am a head and neck and reconstructive surgeon at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I'm an associate professor and also serve as the director of head and neck robotic surgery. I also have a role in the Greenbaum Comprehensive Cancer Center of acting as the director of our multidisciplinary care clinic. I have really dedicated my career to treating patients of head and neck cancer and offering them the least amount of side effects for this disease. I have special training and robotic surgery that is very well suited to treat a lot of our patients who are affected by tonsil or base of tongue cancers that are associated with the human papillomavirus. I became a doctor because I just enjoy caring for patients. And I think I specifically became a head and neck cancer surgeon because I really appreciate the opportunity to care for patients in their time of need. I went to medical school at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and went to residency at the University of Pennsylvania where I underwent six years of training to specifically treat head and neck cancer and benign tumors of the head and neck. I had a special interest in robotic surgery where minimally invasive techniques were used to remove tumors of the back of the tongue, deploying a small robot that can remove tumors without any appreciable scars on the outside of the face. patients fortunately have great cancer outcomes from this technique and then also return to their quality of life as fast as possible. My goal for each of my patients is to get the best opportunity for cure with the least amount of side effects.
