About
Andrew McQueen is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for complex oropharyngeal cancers, particularly in challenging cases of residual and recurrent disease. His major contributions center on applying the rigorous IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term Follow-up) framework to evaluate surgical innovation, demonstrating that TORS can be a viable salvage option for patients with limited alternatives. In his most cited work (41 citations), McQueen systematically assessed 26 patients, showing that robotic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach to re-resection with manageable morbidity, thereby expanding treatment possibilities beyond traditional open surgery. He further refined this technique by integrating intra-operative ultrasound guidance (2 citations), enhancing precision in tumor localization during robotic procedures. McQueen’s work has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based protocols for recurrent oropharyngeal cancer management, bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice. His research not only provides critical data on oncologic outcomes but also underscores the importance of structured surgical evaluation, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery.
