About

Ryusuke Hori is a leading figure in the field of head and neck oncologic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. His major contributions center on the adoption and refinement of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) in Japan, where he has been instrumental in demonstrating its advantages over traditional approaches for early-stage oropharyngeal cancer. Hori’s work provides critical insights into the procedural nuances and current status of TORS, helping to establish its role as a standard of care in the region. Beyond robotics, he has conducted pivotal multicenter research into the complications of transoral non-robotic surgery, particularly dysphagia, offering essential data for improving patient outcomes and quality of life. With his most cited paper, “Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in Japan: procedures, advantages and current status” (2023, 6 citations), and his recent study on surgical complications (2024, 4 citations), Hori’s research is shaping safer, more effective surgical protocols. His work is a vital resource for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize treatment for head and neck cancers.
