About
Andrey Moreno Torres is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for complex head and neck pathologies, particularly within the challenging parapharyngeal space. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of TORS for rare and difficult-to-access tumors, offering patients a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open approaches. Notably, his 2022 case report on TORS for carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma—a rare malignancy comprising just 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms—established a novel surgical pathway for this aggressive tumor. He further expanded the technique’s utility in a 2023 case series addressing relapsed papillary thyroid carcinoma in the parapharyngeal space, showcasing its role in managing recurrent disease. While his citation counts (5 and 2, respectively) reflect the niche but critical nature of his work, his publications are foundational references for surgeons exploring robotic approaches in anatomically treacherous regions. Torres’s research is particularly impactful for trainees and specialists seeking to reduce morbidity in oncologic head and neck surgery, positioning him as a key advocate for innovation in transoral robotics.
