About
Francesco Sardanapoli is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the integration of three-dimensional exoscopic technology. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of VITOM-3D assisted neck dissection via a retroauricular approach (RAND-3D), a method that seeks to replace more expensive robotic surgery while maintaining precision and improving patient outcomes. This preclinical investigation, conducted in a cadaver lab, has garnered 4 citations and represents a significant step toward reducing healthcare costs without compromising surgical quality. Sardanapoli’s work is notable for its practical, translational focus—bridging technological innovation with real-world surgical applications. His research underscores a commitment to democratizing advanced surgical care, making high-precision procedures more accessible. For students and researchers, Sardanapoli exemplifies how thoughtful adaptation of emerging technologies can reshape surgical practice, offering a model for cost-conscious innovation in head and neck oncology.
