About

Meghan B. Crawley is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing head and neck oncology, with a particular emphasis on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and its application in elderly patient populations. Her most-cited study, "Functional and survival outcomes in elderly patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery" (2020, 15 citations), provides critical insights into the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive robotic techniques for older adults—a demographic often underrepresented in surgical trials. By demonstrating that TORS can achieve favorable functional recovery and survival outcomes in this group, Crawley’s work challenges age-related biases in treatment decisions and expands the evidence base for personalized surgical care. Her research bridges the gap between technological innovation and geriatric oncology, offering practical guidance for clinicians navigating complex cases. Though early in her career, Crawley’s contributions are already shaping how surgeons weigh risks and benefits for elderly patients, underscoring the importance of tailoring advanced surgical approaches to diverse populations. Her findings serve as a foundation for future studies on robotic surgery outcomes, making her a rising voice in the field of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery.
