About
Ryohei Donishi is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical approaches for complex thyroid cancer metastases. His primary research focuses on ultrasound-guided transoral videolaryngoscopic surgery, a technique he has advanced to treat retropharyngeal lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid cancer. Donishi’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that endoscopic-assisted transoral approaches can significantly reduce the morbidity associated with traditional transcervical and transmandibular surgeries, offering patients safer alternatives with fewer complications. His landmark 2017 paper, "Ultrasound-Guided Transoral Videolaryngoscopic Surgery for Retropharyngeal Lymph Node Metastasis of Papillary Thyroid Cancer," has garnered 9 citations and serves as a foundational reference for surgeons exploring this innovative corridor. By integrating real-time ultrasound guidance with videolaryngoscopic visualization, Donishi has enhanced precision in navigating the challenging retropharyngeal space. His work represents a meaningful step toward expanding the role of transoral surgery beyond oropharyngeal tumors, and his contributions continue to influence the evolution of thyroid cancer management, particularly for patients with recurrent or metastatic disease in anatomically delicate regions.
