About

Sara Torretta is a leading figure in head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and the management of salivary gland disorders. Her major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly for treating submandibular stones and head and neck tumors. Torretta’s seminal work, a 2016 review in *ecancermedicalscience* (32 citations), established a foundational understanding of TORS’s role in oncology, detailing its operative setup and clinical applications. She further demonstrated her impact through a 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing TORS to conventional transoral surgery for submandibular stones, a study that, despite its recent publication (4 citations), underscores her leadership in evidence-based surgical innovation. Her 2021 case study on TORS for hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones (2 citations) showcases her pioneering application of robotic technology to complex anatomical challenges. Torretta’s work not only refines surgical precision but also reduces patient morbidity, positioning her as a key contributor to the evolution of head and neck surgery. Her research continues to shape clinical protocols, offering safer, more effective options for patients with challenging pathologies.
