About

Jocelyn Migliacci is a leading researcher in head and neck surgical oncology, with a primary focus on the safety and outcomes of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her work has been instrumental in characterizing and mitigating the risks associated with this minimally invasive approach, particularly postoperative hemorrhage. In her highly cited 2017 study, “Complications following transoral robotic surgery: A detailed institutional review of complications” (79 citations), she provided a comprehensive analysis of adverse events, establishing a critical framework for understanding TORS morbidity. Her companion paper, “Haemorrhage following transoral robotic surgery” (36 citations), further refined this work by systematically grading bleeding events using the Mayo Clinic system, offering surgeons a standardized method to assess and manage this life-threatening complication. By rigorously documenting complication rates and severity, Migliacci has directly contributed to improved patient safety protocols and surgical decision-making. Her research serves as an essential reference for clinicians adopting TORS, helping to balance its benefits against its risks. Through these impactful contributions, she has become a key voice in advancing the evidence base for robotic head and neck surgery.
