About
Anuraag S. Parikh is a head and neck surgical oncologist whose research centers on optimizing outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), particularly those undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His work has fundamentally shaped clinical decision-making in three critical areas: surgical margin management, perioperative feeding tube dependency, and opioid stewardship. Parikh’s landmark 2021 study on surgical margins in HPV-related OPSCC (44 citations) challenged conventional wisdom by demonstrating that close margins do not necessarily compromise local control in single-modality TORS, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary adjuvant therapy. His 2021 investigation into feeding tube placement (13 citations) identified key predictors of perioperative nutritional support needs, enabling more personalized preoperative counseling. Additionally, his 2020 analysis of opioid usage patterns (6 citations) provided evidence-based prescribing guidelines that help balance effective pain control with responsible narcotic stewardship. Collectively, Parikh’s research has refined the risk stratification and perioperative management of TORS patients, directly improving quality of life while maintaining excellent oncologic outcomes. His work continues to influence national practice patterns in transoral surgery for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.
