About
Fabio Ferreli is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, and unknown primary carcinomas. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating the efficacy and safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) compared to traditional treatments like intensity-modulated radiotherapy, as evidenced by his highly cited 2020 meta-analysis (61 citations). Ferreli’s systematic reviews and meta-analyses have also clarified the critical role of palatine tonsillectomy in diagnosing squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary origin (46 citations), providing a standardized approach to a challenging clinical problem. Beyond these landmark studies, he developed the “Pharyngoscore,” a novel preoperative tool to predict difficult oropharyngeal exposure during TORS, directly improving patient selection and surgical outcomes. With a growing portfolio that includes emerging applications of exoscope-assisted surgery and remote neck approaches, Ferreli’s research consistently bridges the gap between evidence-based practice and technological innovation. His contributions have shaped modern treatment paradigms, offering patients less invasive options with comparable oncologic results.
