About
Marta P. Circiu is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of head and neck oncology and minimally invasive surgical innovation, with a particular focus on laryngeal cancer surgery. Her research has systematically examined the evolution and clinical application of transoral approaches — most notably transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) — for the treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma across multiple anatomical subsites. Circiu's most influential contribution, her 2020 study on transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy (38 citations), provided critical evidence on surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes in a patient population where organ preservation is paramount. Her subsequent work has comprehensively mapped the historical trajectory of laryngeal surgery — from open partial laryngectomies to cutting-edge robotic techniques — offering researchers and clinicians an authoritative reference framework. Notably, her 2022 rapid review on robotic cordectomy and her comparative analysis of TLM versus TORS in supraglottic carcinoma reflect a sustained commitment to evidence-based surgical decision-making. With over 140 cumulative citations across eight papers, Circiu has established herself as a meaningful voice in advancing minimally invasive laryngeal oncology, helping define both the promise and the boundaries of robotic surgery in this technically demanding field.
