About
Carla Ingelido is a leading voice in head and neck surgical oncology, with a research focus on functional preservation and minimally invasive techniques for oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. Her work centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), where she has made major contributions by systematically evaluating how these advanced procedures impact patients’ quality of life beyond mere survival. Her 2024 comprehensive systematic review on TORS for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma—cited 22 times—established a critical benchmark for functional outcomes, detailing speech and swallowing recovery alongside oncologic efficacy. In 2025, she extended this analysis to supraglottic laryngeal cancer, further clarifying operative features and functional preservation. Ingelido’s research is notable for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care, providing evidence that TORS can reduce morbidity without compromising cancer control. Her systematic reviews are widely referenced by surgeons and rehabilitation specialists, shaping clinical guidelines and training protocols. With her work accumulating growing citations, Ingelido is recognized as a key contributor to the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery, offering a roadmap for balancing radical oncologic resection with the preservation of essential functions like voice and swallowing.
