About

Marie-Nicole Theodoraki is a leading figure in the field of head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in the integration of robotic technologies to improve surgical outcomes. Her most-cited work, a 2021 systematic review on current advances in robotics for head and neck surgery (37 citations), critically evaluates the clinical effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted surgery (RAS) in this specialized area. This seminal paper addresses a crucial gap in the literature, providing a comprehensive background on how surgical robots—already established in urology, gynecology, and general surgery—are being adapted for head and neck procedures. Theodoraki’s contributions are pivotal in clarifying the benefits and limitations of RAS, helping to guide clinical decision-making and future research. Her work has been instrumental in advancing minimally invasive techniques, potentially reducing patient morbidity and improving recovery times. With a growing citation impact, Theodoraki is recognized as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of surgical robotics, bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical, evidence-based application in head and neck oncology and reconstructive surgery.
