About
Dr. Adam McCann is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and spinal oncology, with a primary focus on minimally invasive approaches to complex skull base and cervical spine tumors. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel technique using transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the en bloc resection of cervical spine chordomas—rare, infiltrative notochordal neoplasms that pose extreme surgical challenges due to poor visualization and intricate anatomy. This work, published in 2018 and cited 9 times, represents a significant advance in reducing the morbidity of traditional open approaches. By leveraging robotic precision, Dr. McCann has expanded the surgical armamentarium for these difficult tumors, offering patients a less invasive path to the critical en bloc resection that is paramount for successful treatment. His research directly addresses the core dilemma of balancing radical oncologic resection with functional preservation, marking him as a key innovator in the evolving field of robotic spinal surgery.
