About
Dr. Maria Grazia Maglione is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive oncologic surgery, particularly through transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of TORS for complex anatomical regions, most notably the parapharyngeal space—a notoriously difficult area to access. Her landmark 2018 paper, "Transoral robotic surgery of parapharyngeal space tumours: a series of four cases," with 41 citations, provided early, critical evidence that robotic approaches could successfully resect deep-seated tumors while avoiding external incisions and reducing morbidity. She further solidified this impact through a comprehensive 2020 retrospective study of 67 patients, which validated TORS as an excellent alternative for cervico-facial oncological diseases, offering superior access to the distal oropharynx. With a combined citation count exceeding 50 for these key works, Dr. Maglione has helped redefine surgical standards, offering patients less invasive options without compromising oncologic outcomes. Her work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher exploring the frontiers of robotic head and neck surgery.
