About
Massimo Ralli is a prominent otorhinolaryngologist whose research focuses on advancing surgical treatments for sleep-disordered breathing and laryngeal cancer. His work is centered on improving patient outcomes and quality of life, particularly for those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and advanced laryngeal malignancies. A key contribution is his investigation into the comparative effectiveness of multilevel surgery versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for OSA, demonstrating that surgical intervention can significantly enhance quality of life and reduce excessive daytime sleepiness—a finding with direct clinical implications for patients intolerant to CPAP. This landmark study has garnered 18 citations. In the realm of oncologic surgery, Ralli has pioneered organ-preserving techniques, notably the transoral robotic vertical partial laryngectomy extended to the hypopharynx. This innovative approach offers a life-altering alternative to total laryngectomy for patients with locally advanced cancer, prioritizing both tumor removal and functional preservation. With a growing citation impact, Ralli’s work is shaping modern, patient-centered surgical practice.
