About

Andrea Manca is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, with a particular focus on integrating 3D exoscopic technology. His major contributions include pioneering the use of 3D exoscopic surgery (3Des) for transoral oropharyngectomy, a technique that offers enhanced visualization and precision for treating HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Manca has also been instrumental in developing VITOM-3D assisted neck dissection via a retroauricular approach (RAND-3D), demonstrating that this technology can effectively replace robotic surgery while significantly reducing costs. His work in laryngeal surgery emphasizes the critical need for millimetric accuracy and the value of dissection laboratory training for mastering these complex procedures. With his most cited paper, "3D Exoscopic Surgery (3Des) for Transoral Oropharyngectomy," accumulating 35 citations, Manca's research is shaping the future of head and neck oncology by making advanced surgical techniques more accessible and affordable. His innovative approaches at the Candiolo Cancer Institute are establishing new standards for precision surgery in the treatment of head and neck malignancies.
