About
Drosa Zabihi‐pour is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatment for head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Her major contribution lies in systematically comparing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with traditional open salvage surgery for patients with recurrent OPSCC following definitive radiation therapy. In her landmark 2025 meta-analysis, Zabihi‐pour synthesized evidence from the Medline literature to evaluate outcomes between these two surgical approaches, providing critical guidance for surgeons managing this challenging patient population. Her work addresses the pressing need for less morbid salvage options in recurrent disease, where treatment decisions carry significant implications for quality of life and survival. While her most-cited paper currently holds 1 citation—reflecting its recent publication—the study represents a foundational contribution to the evidence base for robotic-assisted salvage surgery. Zabihi‐pour’s research bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice, offering data-driven insights that help surgeons select the optimal approach for individual patients. Her systematic review methodology and focus on comparative effectiveness position her as a rising voice in head and neck surgical oncology, with work that will likely influence future treatment guidelines and inspire further prospective trials in robotic surgery.
