About
Mohssen Ansarin is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating complex head and neck cancers, particularly in the oropharynx, supraglottic larynx, and the challenging parapharyngeal space. Ansarin's major contributions include landmark comparative studies, such as his pilot surgery comparing TORS to transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic cancer (80 citations), which helped establish the robotic approach as a viable alternative. He has been instrumental in expanding TORS applications to rare parapharyngeal space tumors, authoring several key papers (46 and 36 citations) that demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this technique for benign schwannomas. His impact is reflected in over 200 total citations, with his work providing crucial real-world data on oncologic outcomes, including comparisons between TORS and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer. Ansarin's research also addresses critical clinical challenges, such as the role of salvage TORS in recurrent disease and the management of soft tissue necrosis following postoperative radiotherapy, cementing his reputation as a leader in modern, patient-centered head and neck oncology.
