About

Ghassan Samara is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans robotic-assisted surgical techniques and emerging technologies, with particular expertise in head and neck surgery and the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). His most influential contribution, a 2015 study on robot-assisted sialolithotomy with sialendoscopy (RASS) for managing large submandibular gland stones, has garnered 32 citations and introduced a minimally invasive approach that redefined treatment options while carefully evaluating lingual nerve outcomes. Building on this foundation, Samara has made significant contributions to transoral robotic surgery (TORS), examining the timing of neck dissection procedures, utilization trends across New York State, and gastrostomy outcomes in minimally invasive head and neck cancer care — work that collectively informs surgical planning and health equity considerations. Beyond the operating room, Samara has pivoted toward emerging technology research, authoring notable studies on IoRT applications and its integration into early childhood education, reflecting a broader interest in how robotics and artificial intelligence can transform diverse sectors. With a citation record spanning clinical and computational domains, his research profile is notable for its range, bridging surgical innovation with the digital transformation reshaping modern industries.
