About
Andrea De Vito is a prominent surgical researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with particular expertise spanning head and neck oncology, oropharyngeal cancer management, and sleep-disordered breathing. Based at a leading robotic surgery center, De Vito has been instrumental in establishing TORS as a viable and sophisticated alternative to conventional surgical and chemoradiotherapeutic approaches for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas, contributing nearly a decade of institutional outcome data that has helped shape clinical practice globally. Among his most impactful contributions is a novel intraoperative technique employing narrow-band imaging to enhance superficial tumor margin detection during TORS procedures, addressing the critical challenge of positive resection margins that can occur in up to 20% of cases. His research into recurrent lingual tonsillitis and lymphatic tissue regrowth following TORS has further refined patient selection and long-term management strategies. De Vito has also pioneered TORS applications for obstructive sleep apnea, offering patients alternatives to continuous positive airway pressure therapy. With his top papers collectively accumulating over 285 citations, his multidisciplinary contributions continue to meaningfully influence both oncologic and quality-of-life outcomes for patients undergoing complex head and neck procedures.
