About

Mark Marzouk is a pioneering otolaryngologist whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical management of salivary gland disorders, particularly sialolithiasis (salivary stones). His major contributions lie in advancing robot-assisted sialolithotomy with sialendoscopy (RASS), a technique he has championed for treating large, impacted submandibular gland stones that traditionally required more invasive approaches. His landmark 2015 study (32 citations) established RASS as a safe, effective alternative, demonstrating high procedural success while minimizing lingual nerve damage. Marzouk’s work extends to pediatric applications, as shown in his 2018 case report (13 citations) describing the novel use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for a supraglottic neurofibroma—a first-of-its-kind approach. He has also critically evaluated the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted glandular surgery (2020 review, 11 citations), providing a comprehensive framework for clinical adoption. His 2023 comparative study (3 citations) further refined surgical decision-making by contrasting intraoral microscopic and robotic approaches for submandibular stones. With a career focused on translating robotic innovation into improved patient outcomes, Marzouk has positioned himself as a leading voice in head and neck glandular surgery, bridging technical precision with functional preservation.
