About
Hilary C. McCrary is a rising leader in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, with research focused on the intersection of robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, and human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma. Her work has garnered over 26 citations, reflecting its growing influence. McCrary’s major contributions include pioneering studies on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) outcomes, such as a national analysis of 30-day readmission rates following TORS for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, which highlighted critical factors affecting adjuvant treatment timing and survival. She has also advanced the field of surgical innovation by evaluating the accuracy of ChatGPT in addressing common patient questions about HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer, demonstrating her commitment to integrating AI into patient education. Additionally, her national survey on robotic surgery training among otolaryngology residents has informed curriculum development, while her investigation into vascular permeability and indocyanine green fluorescence-guided TORS has improved intraoperative tumor visualization. McCrary’s work not only enhances surgical precision and patient outcomes but also bridges cutting-edge technology with clinical practice, making her a notable voice in modern head and neck oncology.
