About
Maria Massaro is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive transoral techniques for treating supraglottic cancer. Her major contribution lies in pioneering comparative research between transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). In her landmark pilot study, which has garnered 80 citations, she systematically compared the first cohorts of patients treated with each modality, providing critical early evidence on the safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes of these emerging approaches. This work helped establish TORS as a viable alternative to the more mature TLM technique, shaping clinical decision-making for supraglottic resections. Beyond this foundational study, Massaro’s research portfolio continues to advance the field of transoral surgery, contributing to improved oncologic and quality-of-life outcomes for patients. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the evolution and comparative merits of modern transoral surgical strategies.
