About
Dr. Mami Morita is a pioneering otolaryngologist whose work has advanced the precision of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer. Her research focuses on integrating advanced endoscopic imaging techniques to improve surgical outcomes, particularly in determining the optimal extent of resection during minimally invasive procedures. Her most cited paper, "Magnifying Endoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging to Determine the Extent of Resection in Transoral Robotic Surgery of Oropharyngeal Cancer" (2014, 23 citations), introduced a novel method for intraoperative margin assessment. By combining narrow band imaging with magnifying endoscopy, Dr. Morita demonstrated how surgeons can more accurately visualize tumor boundaries in the laryngopharynx, reducing the risk of incomplete resection or unnecessary tissue removal. This work has been instrumental in refining TORS protocols, enhancing both oncologic safety and functional preservation. Her contributions have been recognized internationally, and her findings continue to guide surgical decision-making in head and neck oncology. Dr. Morita’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and robotic surgery, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life.
