About
Dr. Romina Mastronicola is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive oncologic care. Her research centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and the complex challenges of salvage surgery for upper aerodigestive tract tumors. A key contribution is her pioneering work on the infrahyoid myocutaneous flap, demonstrating it as a reliable, minimally invasive reconstructive alternative for oropharyngeal defects after robotic resection—a technique that has expanded surgical possibilities. Dr. Mastronicola’s influence is evident in her collaborative leadership within the French GETTEC group, where her studies on airway management protocols and the rare complication of spondylodiscitis after TORS have set critical safety benchmarks. Her comprehensive review on salvage surgery further underscores her expertise in managing the most difficult cases, where functional rehabilitation is as vital as disease control. With her most cited works accumulating dozens of citations, Dr. Mastronicola is recognized for advancing both the technical precision and the patient-centered outcomes of modern head and neck cancer surgery.
