About
Angelo Placentino is a specialist in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of craniofacial pain syndromes. His most cited work, "Eagle Syndrome: 3D endoscope-assisted anterior tonsillar fossa approach to styloid process" (2021), has garnered 8 citations and represents a significant technical contribution to the field. In this paper, Placentino details a novel, precision-driven surgical technique that leverages three-dimensional endoscopic visualization to access and resect an elongated styloid process through the anterior tonsillar fossa. This approach minimizes tissue trauma and improves surgical outcomes for patients suffering from the debilitating symptoms of Eagle syndrome, such as throat pain and foreign body sensation. By advancing the safety and efficacy of this procedure, Placentino’s work has provided a valuable, reproducible method for surgeons and has helped raise awareness of this often-misdiagnosed condition. His research underscores a commitment to translating innovative surgical technology into tangible patient benefits, establishing him as a key figure in modern otolaryngologic practice.
