About
Iacopo Dallan is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the fields of robotic head and neck surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery, and the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). He is best known for his early and influential contributions to transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly its application in tongue base resection for OSAHS — work that earned over 200 citations for his 2010 feasibility study and helped establish TORS as a credible surgical option for a condition that had long resisted elegant minimally invasive solutions. His anatomical investigations, including cadaveric dissection studies exploring robotic perspectives of the tongue base and skull base, provided the foundational roadmap that subsequent surgeons rely upon. Dallan's multicenter benchmarking study of 243 TORS procedures further cemented his role in translating emerging technology into standardized clinical practice. Beyond sleep surgery, his contributions to endoscopic endonasal skull base approaches — cited nearly 160 times — demonstrate impressive breadth. With a cumulative citation record reflecting significant international influence, Dallan stands as a key figure in advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques across complex surgical anatomy.
