About
Candace Dick is a head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive approaches to complex anatomical regions, particularly the parapharyngeal space (PPS). Her most cited study, a 2015 case series on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for benign parapharyngeal tumours, demonstrates her pioneering role in applying robotic technology to safely access this challenging area, which lies near critical neurovascular structures. By detailing the successful excision of four benign tumours using the daVinci surgical system, Dick provided early clinical evidence that TORS could reduce the morbidity associated with traditional external approaches, offering patients shorter recovery times and fewer complications. Though her citation count is modest—reflecting the niche but vital nature of her work—her contributions have helped establish a foundation for robotic head and neck surgery, influencing subsequent research and clinical protocols. Dick’s dedication to refining surgical techniques underscores her commitment to improving patient outcomes in otolaryngology, making her a respected figure among peers exploring the frontiers of transoral robotic surgery.
