About
Dr. Ashwani Sharma is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and robotic neck dissection to improve oncological outcomes and quality of life for patients with head and neck cancers. His major contributions include two landmark prospective trials demonstrating the oncological safety of de-intensified TORS for early-stage (I & II) and advanced-stage (III & IV) HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers, which have together garnered over 60 citations and helped shift surgical paradigms toward less morbid, function-preserving treatment. More recently, Dr. Sharma has advanced the field of scarless surgery by introducing a modified BABA (bilateral axillo-breast approach) technique for robotic neck dissection, detailed in his 2024 work. This innovation addresses the cosmetic and psychological burden of conventional neck dissection scars, representing a significant step forward in patient-centered care. Through these achievements, Dr. Sharma has established himself as a leader in minimally invasive head and neck oncology, with his research directly influencing clinical guidelines and inspiring a new generation of surgeons to prioritize both cure and cosmetic outcome.
