About
Dr. Ravi Mohan is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on refining treatment paradigms for head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the perioperative implications of robotic surgery. His work addresses critical questions in surgical de-escalation and patient safety. A major contribution is his investigation into using pre-operative SPECT-CT lymphatic mapping to guide management of the contralateral, clinically node-negative (cN0) neck in patients with lateralized OPSCC undergoing transoral robotic surgery. This approach challenges the standard practice of bilateral neck treatment, aiming to reduce morbidity without compromising oncological outcomes. Complementing this, Dr. Mohan has also studied physiological changes during surgery, such as alterations in airway dimensions in the steep Trendelenburg position during robot-assisted procedures, contributing to safer anesthetic and surgical protocols. While his citation counts (4–5 per paper) reflect a focused, emerging body of work, his research is highly relevant to the growing field of precision surgery. Dr. Mohan’s efforts are helping to shape more individualized, less invasive treatment strategies for head and neck cancer patients.
