About

Dr. Samantha Hassid is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for laryngeal cancer treatment. Her primary contributions center on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly in developing and evaluating procedures that preserve voice and swallowing function while improving patient outcomes. Her landmark 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis on airway and bleeding complications of TORS supraglottic laryngectomy, cited 18 times, established critical safety benchmarks for this emerging approach. More recently, her 2024 meta-analysis on robotic and endoscopic trans-oral total laryngectomy, though early in citation accrual, represents a groundbreaking synthesis of techniques that could transform surgical management of advanced laryngeal cancer. Dr. Hassid's work bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical safety, providing evidence-based guidelines that help surgeons worldwide adopt robotic approaches with confidence. Her research not only quantifies risks but also demonstrates the feasibility of less invasive alternatives to traditional open surgery, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving quality of life for patients. As robotic laryngeal surgery continues to evolve, Dr. Hassid's systematic analyses serve as essential references for both trainees and experienced surgeons navigating this rapidly advancing field.
