About

Simona Barone is a rising figure in maxillofacial surgery, with a focused interest in the integration of advanced robotic techniques to improve surgical outcomes. Her key research areas center on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and its expanding applications within the craniofacial domain. Barone’s major contribution is her pioneering systematic review, "Transoral robotic surgery in maxillofacial surgery: Systematic review of literature on current situation and future perspectives" (2024), which has already garnered 9 citations—a strong early impact indicator. This work critically evaluates TORS’s role beyond traditional otorhinolaryngology, mapping its effectiveness for maxillofacial pathologies and outlining a forward-looking roadmap for the field. By synthesizing existing evidence, Barone highlights the potential for minimally invasive, robot-assisted approaches to reduce morbidity and enhance precision in complex oral and facial surgeries. Her scholarship provides a vital foundation for clinicians and researchers exploring robotic innovations, positioning her as a key voice in the evolution of modern maxillofacial practice.
