About

Dr. Donald W. Anderson is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on improving outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), particularly through the lens of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His most cited work, a 2018 retrospective multivariate analysis, rigorously examined the predictors of 30-day readmission following TORS for OPSCC. By identifying key contributors to unplanned hospital returns, this study provided critical, actionable insights for reducing morbidity and healthcare costs in a rapidly evolving surgical field. With 32 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for surgeons and institutions adopting TORS, helping to refine perioperative care protocols and patient selection. Dr. Anderson’s research bridges the gap between advanced surgical innovation and practical, patient-centered outcomes, underscoring his commitment to evidence-based improvements in oncologic care. His work continues to influence clinical decision-making and quality metrics in head and neck surgery.
