About

Jessica Moskovitz is a reconstructive surgeon whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for head and neck cancer patients, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes after transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her most cited study, "The Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Lateral Oropharyngectomy Defects," introduced a novel application of the nasoseptal flap (NSF) for reconstructing lateral oropharyngectomy defects following TORS. In this retrospective case series of six patients, Moskovitz demonstrated that the NSF provides a reliable, vascularized option for repairing these complex surgical wounds, potentially reducing complications like fistula formation and improving functional recovery. This contribution addresses a critical gap in reconstructive options for patients undergoing minimally invasive tumor resections. While her citation count is still growing, her work has already garnered attention for its practical, patient-centered approach. Moskovitz’s research underscores her commitment to refining surgical techniques that enhance both oncologic safety and quality of life, making her a rising voice in the field of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery.
