About

Dr. Alberto Paderno is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a primary focus on minimally invasive transoral laser surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers. His major contributions center on advancing the exoscopic approach, notably through the development and refinement of transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES). In his highly cited 2024 work, "Exoscopic Transoral Supraglottic Laryngectomy," Dr. Paderno demonstrated the feasibility of en bloc tumor removal with negative margins in an 85-year-old patient, preserving laryngeal function and setting a new standard for precision in organ-sparing surgery. This technical innovation, accompanied by detailed video documentation, has garnered significant attention (2 citations) and is reshaping surgical practice by offering superior visualization and ergonomics over traditional microscopy. Dr. Paderno’s work is pivotal in expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive head and neck surgery, directly impacting patient outcomes by reducing morbidity while maintaining oncologic rigor. His contributions underscore a commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with clinical excellence, making him a key innovator in the field.
