About

Dr. L Stringa is a pioneering otorhinolaryngologist whose research focuses on expanding the boundaries of trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) beyond its conventional oncological applications. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the versatility of robotic approaches for treating benign conditions, most notably Eagle syndrome—a rare disorder characterized by an elongated styloid process causing chronic throat and neck pain. Dr. Stringa’s systematic review on TORS for Eagle syndrome (2024) and her single-centre experience paper have established a new, minimally invasive surgical paradigm for this condition, offering patients reduced morbidity compared to traditional external approaches. Her landmark 2020 systematic review on alternative TORS applications, with 38 citations, remains a foundational reference in the field, synthesizing evidence for robotic surgery in benign pathology where efficacy had been inconsistent. Through her methodical work, Dr. Stringa has not only advanced surgical technique but also provided a roadmap for future research into robotic applications beyond oncology. Her contributions are reshaping how surgeons approach complex head and neck pathologies, making her a leading voice in the evolution of trans-oral robotic surgery.
