About
Elizabeth M. Garland is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of transoral endoscopic surgery. Her research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for treating complex tumors of the oropharynx, particularly minor salivary gland neoplasms. Garland’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the efficacy and safety of transoral endoscopic head and neck surgery (eHNS)—including both transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS)—for accessing traditionally difficult-to-reach subsites. Her landmark 2017 paper, cited 11 times, provides critical evidence that these approaches can achieve excellent oncologic outcomes while reducing morbidity compared to open procedures. Beyond this work, Garland has been instrumental in refining surgical protocols and expanding the indications for eHNS, helping to establish it as a standard of care for select oropharyngeal tumors. Her research continues to shape how surgeons balance tumor clearance with functional preservation, making her a respected voice in otolaryngology and head and neck oncology.
