About
Dr. Giacomo Fiacchini is a leading figure in the advancement of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with a particular focus on its applications in oncology and sleep apnea. His research has been instrumental in evaluating the efficacy and evolution of robotic systems, most notably through his systematic review of the Da Vinci Xi system, which critically assessed its improvements for oncologic TORS (23 citations). Dr. Fiacchini has also pioneered novel surgical approaches, such as combining TORS tongue base reduction with maxillomandibular advancement for selected sleep apnea patients—a promising new option detailed in his preliminary report (9 citations). His work extends to pediatric populations, where he systematically analyzed the broadening indications and feasibility of TORS from 2007 to 2020 (8 citations). Most recently, he has contributed to the critical debate on treatment paradigms for HPV-mediated oropharyngeal cancer, comparing survival and quality-of-life outcomes between upfront TORS and radiotherapy. Through these contributions, Dr. Fiacchini has helped refine surgical techniques, expand patient eligibility, and provide evidence-based guidance for robotic surgery in both adult and pediatric settings.
