About
Dr. Rupal Sinha is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose research centers on the application of robotic surgery, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS), for the management of complex oropharyngeal and head and neck cancers. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the technical feasibility and oncologic safety of TORS in challenging clinical scenarios. Notably, her seminal 2015 study on salvage TORS for recurrent or residual head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (29 citations) provided critical evidence that this minimally invasive approach can achieve adequate surgical margins and be safely performed in previously treated patients, offering a vital second-line treatment option. Her earlier 2014 work (11 citations) established the initial experience and efficacy of TORS for oropharyngeal cancers at a tertiary cancer center in India, helping to pioneer the adoption of this advanced technique in a resource-constrained setting. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Sinha has significantly advanced the field of robotic head and neck surgery, improving outcomes for patients with recurrent disease and expanding access to state-of-the-art care.
