About
Gioacchino Giugliano is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a primary focus on minimally invasive techniques for treating tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract. His major contributions center on pioneering and comparing transoral approaches, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). In his highly cited 2013 pilot study (80 citations), Giugliano provided one of the first direct comparisons of TORS versus TLM for supraglottic cancer, establishing a foundational benchmark for functional outcomes and oncologic safety. He further advanced the field by demonstrating the feasibility of TORS for complex parapharyngeal space tumors, moving away from traditional transmandibular approaches to reduce morbidity (2017, 46 citations). His work has been instrumental in defining the role of robotics in head and neck surgery, showing that TORS can achieve comparable results to established laser techniques while offering improved visualization and maneuverability. With a career dedicated to refining surgical precision and improving patient quality of life, Giugliano's research continues to shape clinical protocols and inspire the next generation of minimally invasive head and neck surgeons.
