About

Latif M. Dharamsi is a pioneering researcher in the field of minimally invasive otolaryngology, specializing in robotic-assisted micro-surgery of the throat and airways. His major contributions center on advancing transnasal surgical approaches, offering a scarless alternative to traditional trans-oral techniques. In his highly cited 2013 work (43 citations), Dharamsi investigated the clinical motivation for trans-nasal robotic surgery, addressing key limitations of trans-oral access such as complications, high costs, and lengthy setup times. His 2014 study further evaluated a rapidly deployable telerobotic system for transnasal laryngeal surgery in cadavers, demonstrating its feasibility in overcoming precision and accuracy constraints. These contributions have laid critical groundwork for safer, more efficient surgical interventions. Dharamsi’s research directly impacts the development of next-generation surgical robotics, aiming to improve patient outcomes through reduced invasiveness and enhanced surgical dexterity. His work stands as a significant step toward making complex throat surgeries more accessible and effective, marking him as a key innovator in the intersection of robotics and otolaryngology.
