About
Dr. Sarah Atallah is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. Her major contributions center on comparing and optimizing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic carcinomas, where her 2024 expert consensus paper—cited 3 times—provides critical guidance for treatment selection. She has also pioneered the application of TORS for rare salivary gland carcinomas of the base of tongue, as demonstrated in her 2025 multicenter REFCOR study (2 citations), which expands surgical options for challenging tumor sites. Dr. Atallah’s work directly impacts clinical decision-making by evaluating oncologic outcomes, functional preservation, and quality of life. Her research is notable for integrating expert perspectives with multi-institutional data, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Atallah is establishing herself as a key voice in transoral robotic surgery, helping to shape the future of organ-sparing treatments for head and neck cancer patients.
