Eric M. Genden

Eric M. Genden is an American otolaryngologist with the distinction of being the first surgeon to perform a jaw transplant in New York State.

Genden's other achievements include the development of an advancement in tracheal transplants that allows patients to communicate and breathe normally.

Biography

Genden is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. His expertise is in thyroid, parathyroid surgery, head and neck cancer surgery, and airway reconstruction. Other titles include Professor (of both Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Immunobiology) and Surgical Director of the Multidisciplinary Program for Head and Neck Cancer.

Memberships include the New York Head and Neck Society, American Head and Neck Society, American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Broncho-Esophagological Association. He received his B.A. degree from Columbia University in 1987 and graduated from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 1992 where he obtained his MD degree with Distinction in Research.

Jaw transplant

In 2006, Genden performed the first jaw transplant in New York State, on a 54-year-old woman who carried the donated jaw in one of her back muscles for eight months. Along with fellow Mount Sinai doctor Alex Greenberg, Genden devised a plan that added the patient's hip bone marrow and muscle to the donor jaw, which led to the first-ever successful jaw transplant using a patient's bone marrow.

Tracheal transplant

In 2003, Genden performed a highly unusual tracheotomy surgery that combined donor trachea cartilage with tissue from his patient. This innovation minimized the potential for rejection and, equally significantly, allowed the patient to communicate normally post-surgery.
