About
Dr. Nidal Muhanna is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose research lies at the intersection of head and neck oncology, image-guided surgery, and intraoperative imaging. His major contributions focus on advancing the "image-guided operating room" (OR) to improve surgical precision and outcomes in complex head and neck cancer cases. In his highly cited 2019 work, "The image‐guided operating room—Utility and impact on surgeon's performance in the head and neck surgery" (16 citations), Dr. Muhanna systematically evaluated how real-time imaging integration enhances surgeon performance, reducing uncertainty and improving tumor resection accuracy. This foundational study has helped establish the image-guided OR as an emerging standard in oncological head and neck surgery, bridging a critical gap between technological capability and clinical application. Beyond this, his broader body of work explores fluorescence-guided surgery and novel imaging agents, aiming to visualize microscopic tumor margins intraoperatively. With growing citation impact, Dr. Muhanna’s research is shaping the future of precision surgery, directly benefiting patients by minimizing residual disease and preserving healthy tissue. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating cutting-edge imaging technology into tangible surgical advances.
