About

Anna Bonsembiante is a pioneering surgeon whose work is redefining head and neck surgery through minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research focuses on advancing submandibular gland excision, moving beyond traditional open transcervical approaches to develop robotic intraoral and extraoral methods. Her landmark 2020 paper, which has garnered 20 citations, systematically compares these novel robotic techniques with conventional surgery, demonstrating that they can significantly reduce neurological, functional, and aesthetic complications while maintaining surgical efficacy. This contribution is particularly impactful because it revives and modernizes the intraoral approach—first described decades ago but never widely adopted—by leveraging robotic precision. Bonsembiante’s work is notable for bridging the gap between historical surgical concepts and cutting-edge technology, offering patients safer, scarless alternatives. Her research is essential reading for surgeons seeking to minimize morbidity in salivary gland procedures, and her innovative spirit positions her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery.
