About
Andrea Costantino is a prominent surgical researcher specializing in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and the minimally invasive management of head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on oropharyngeal, laryngeal, and hypopharyngeal carcinomas. His work has significantly advanced the field by rigorously evaluating robotic surgical platforms, including comparative analyses of the da Vinci Single-Port and Xi systems, accumulating over 278 citations across his most influential publications. Costantino's 2020 systematic reviews on TORS for parapharyngeal tumors and oropharyngeal carcinoma — among his most cited works with 72 and 61 citations respectively — established critical evidence underpinning robotic surgery's role alongside intensity-modulated radiotherapy. His research extends into cutting-edge innovation, including early adoption of 3D exoscopic technology for micro-laryngeal surgery and the development of machine learning models to predict positive surgical margins in TORS patients — a clinically meaningful tool drawing on data from over 450 patients. Costantino has also explored neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with robotic surgery for advanced-stage disease, reflecting a commitment to multimodal treatment optimization. His body of work positions him as a leading voice shaping evidence-based practice in robotic head and neck oncological surgery.
