About

Luke Cascarini is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose work has helped define the role of robotics in head and neck surgical oncology. His research centers on the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for treating cancers of the oral cavity and oropharynx, with a particular focus on how these techniques expand the capabilities of the reconstructive microsurgeon. Cascarini’s major contributions include demonstrating that TORS is not only effective for small oral cavity tumors but is also expanding into more complex oropharyngeal procedures, offering patients less invasive options with improved functional outcomes. His most-cited paper, “Robot-Assisted Reconstruction in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology: The Evolving Role of the Reconstructive Microsurgeon” (2018), has accumulated 16 citations and is complemented by earlier foundational work such as “Role of robotic surgery in oral and maxillofacial, and head and neck surgery” (2011, 14 citations) and “Robotics in oral and maxillofacial surgery” (2018, 6 citations). Through these publications, Cascarini has established himself as a key voice in the integration of robotic technology into maxillofacial practice, influencing both surgical technique and training. His work continues to shape how surgeons approach complex head and neck cancers, blending precision oncology with reconstructive artistry.
