About
Rossella Sgarzani is a leading surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancers and benign conditions. Her research centers on refining robotic techniques for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), with a particular focus on optimizing surgical outcomes, reducing complications, and improving patient quality of life. Sgarzani’s major contributions include demonstrating the long-term efficacy of TORS compared to definitive chemoradiotherapy, as evidenced by her 10-year institutional experience (35 citations), and establishing protocols for defect-oriented reconstruction after robotic resection. Her landmark study on TORS for recurrent lingual tonsillitis (37 citations) expanded the technique’s utility beyond oncology, while her work on neck dissection integration (36 citations) helped standardize multimodal treatment approaches. With over 180 cumulative citations across her most influential papers, Sgarzani has shaped international guidelines through multi-institutional collaborations and comprehensive reviews of reconstructive options. Her 9-year institutional experience (27 citations) remains a cornerstone reference for surgeons adopting TORS, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in minimally invasive head and neck surgery.
