About
Giuseppe Meccariello is a prominent surgical researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) across multiple clinical domains. His research focuses on three interconnected areas: robotic surgical technique, obstructive sleep apnea (OSAHS) management, and head and neck oncology. Meccariello has been instrumental in establishing TORS as a viable treatment for OSAHS, contributing seminal studies—including a widely cited 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis (83 citations)—that helped legitimize robotic approaches to sleep-disordered breathing. His comparative analyses of palatal surgical techniques and multilevel interventions have provided clinicians with practical, evidence-based guidance for complex airway cases. Beyond sleep surgery, Meccariello has advanced oncological applications of TORS, notably pioneering the integration of narrow-band imaging for intraoperative margin assessment in head and neck tumors, addressing the critical challenge of positive surgical margins. His longitudinal institutional experience comparing TORS with chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer further underscores his commitment to outcome-driven research. An early exploration of haptic versus visual feedback in robotic surgery (91 citations) reflects his broader interest in optimizing the human-robot interface. Collectively, his work, accumulating hundreds of citations, has positioned him as a leading voice in expanding and refining robotic surgery's role in otolaryngology.
