About

Salvatore Cocuzza is a pioneering otolaryngologist whose research focuses on advanced surgical treatments for oropharyngeal and sleep disorders. His primary contributions lie in transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly for recurrent lingual tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Cocuzza’s landmark 2020 study on TORS for recurrent lingual tonsillitis, with 37 citations, demonstrated the procedure’s efficacy in 84 patients, establishing a minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatments. His 2022 work on quality of life and excessive daytime sleepiness in OSA patients (18 citations) compared multilevel surgery to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), providing critical insights into patient-centered outcomes. Cocuzza also contributed a 2023 narrative review on surgical approaches for advanced oropharyngeal cancer (7 citations), highlighting evolving strategies beyond chemoradiotherapy. Additionally, his 2021 exploration of TORS for hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones showcases his innovative application of robotic techniques to complex salivary gland disorders. With a career dedicated to refining robotic-assisted surgeries, Cocuzza has significantly advanced the field of head and neck surgery, improving both functional outcomes and quality of life for patients with challenging conditions.
