About
Richard M. Rosenfeld is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic surgery for cancer treatment. His work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes through minimally invasive techniques, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer and robotic neck dissection. A major contribution is his meta-analysis on robotic versus conventional neck dissection, which synthesized evidence to demonstrate the perioperative benefits of the robotic approach. This highly cited work (47 citations) has helped guide clinical decision-making for head and neck malignancies. More recently, Rosenfeld has focused on the critical issue of surgical margins in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer, conducting a meta-analysis to clarify how margin distance affects patient outcomes after TORS. His research is distinguished by rigorous systematic reviews that provide actionable evidence for surgeons, directly impacting the safety and efficacy of modern head and neck oncology. Through his commitment to evidence-based practice, Rosenfeld has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable, less invasive alternative for complex cancer resections.
