About
Dr. Mark S. Persky is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating aerodigestive tract cancers, particularly laryngeal and thyroid malignancies. His major contributions center on evaluating the efficacy and safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for early-stage supraglottic larynx carcinoma, where his work has helped refine surgical decision-making by comparing TORS outcomes to traditional open partial laryngectomy and transoral laser microsurgery. His highly cited 2023 study on this topic (14 citations) provides critical evidence that TORS offers comparable oncologic control with potentially improved functional recovery, influencing clinical guidelines. Beyond this, Dr. Persky has published extensively on thyroid cancer management and complex skull base surgery, with his cumulative work garnering hundreds of citations. He is recognized for his role in training the next generation of otolaryngologists and for his leadership in multidisciplinary cancer care, having served as a key figure at NYU Langone Health. His research continues to shape the evolution of organ-preserving, robotic-assisted approaches that reduce patient morbidity while maintaining excellent survival outcomes.
