About

Shaji Mansuri is a head and neck surgeon whose research centers on functional outcomes following transoral robotic surgery (TORS), with a particular focus on swallowing and speech preservation. His most cited work, "The swallowing and speech after transoral robotic surgery—does the site impact the outcome?" (2024), investigates how tumor location within the head and neck affects post-surgical function, using a retrospective cohort design to compare outcomes across different surgical sites. This study addresses a critical gap in minimally invasive head and neck oncology, where preserving quality of life is as important as oncologic control. By demonstrating that the site of TORS significantly influences swallowing and speech recovery, Mansuri provides surgeons with evidence to better counsel patients and tailor surgical approaches. Though early in his career, his work has already garnered attention for its practical implications in improving patient-centered outcomes. Mansuri’s research contributes to the growing body of literature advocating for function-sparing techniques in head and neck cancer treatment, making him a promising voice in the field of robotic surgery and rehabilitation.
