About
Dr. Stefano Berrettini is a pioneering otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical treatments for sleep apnea and oropharyngeal cancer. His research focuses on integrating transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with maxillofacial procedures to address complex airway disorders. In his landmark 2019 preliminary report, Berrettini introduced a novel combination of TORS tongue base reduction and supraglottoplasty with maxillomandibular advancement, offering a promising new option for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea—a contribution that has garnered 9 citations and sparked further investigation into hybrid surgical approaches. More recently, his 2024 comparative study evaluated survival outcomes and quality of life in HPV-mediated p16+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with upfront TORS versus radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, providing critical evidence for personalized treatment strategies. With a citation count reflecting the growing interest in his innovative techniques, Berrettini is recognized for bridging surgical innovation and oncologic precision, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic-assisted head and neck surgery.
