About
Merran Findlay is a leading researcher in head and neck cancer survivorship, with a primary focus on swallowing, nutrition, and quality-of-life outcomes. Her work critically evaluates how surgical innovations, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS), impact patient recovery compared to traditional open procedures. In her highly cited 2021 systematic review, Findlay synthesized evidence from major databases to demonstrate that while TORS may offer advantages in reducing hospital stay and feeding tube dependence, nutritional challenges remain significant. This research has informed clinical guidelines and helped shape postoperative care pathways for head and neck cancer patients. With over 5 citations on this key paper alone, Findlay’s contributions are shaping how multidisciplinary teams approach functional preservation and rehabilitation. Her work bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes, making her a vital voice in the evolving landscape of head and neck oncology.
