About

Jeffrey Hotaling is a clinician-researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive approaches to complex parathyroid and thyroid disorders. His major contributions center on the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for accessing anatomically challenging lesions, such as retropharyngeal parathyroid adenomas—a technique that reduces surgical morbidity and improves cosmetic outcomes. His most-cited case report, "Transoral robotic resection of a retropharyngeal parathyroid adenoma" (2018, 5 citations), exemplifies this innovation, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted resection in a rare and difficult-to-reach location. Though his citation count is modest, his work is notable for its technical precision and its role in expanding the indications for robotic surgery in head and neck endocrinology. Hotaling’s research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to refine minimally invasive techniques, and his case report remains a reference for those managing ectopic parathyroid disease. His contributions underscore a commitment to advancing surgical care through technological innovation, making him a respected figure in the evolving landscape of robotic otolaryngology.
