About
Dr. Ritvi K. Bagadia is a head and neck surgeon whose work focuses on innovative, minimally invasive approaches to managing complex oropharyngeal cancers, particularly recurrent tumors of the tongue base. Her most cited study, "Selective embolization of lingual artery in transoral robotic surgery for the management of recurrent base of tongue carcinomas" (2020), addresses a critical challenge: the high rate of residual or recurrent disease—around 30%—following initial chemoradiation. Dr. Bagadia’s major contribution lies in combining selective lingual artery embolization with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to reduce intraoperative bleeding and improve surgical outcomes in salvage cases, offering a less morbid alternative to traditional open surgery. This work, with 4 citations, has helped refine protocols for managing a difficult patient population. Her research underscores a commitment to advancing robotic surgical techniques and perioperative strategies that enhance safety and recovery. Dr. Bagadia’s contributions are particularly valuable for oncologic surgeons seeking to expand the role of TORS in recurrent disease, making her a notable figure in the evolving landscape of head and neck cancer surgery.
