About
Stefano Zorzi is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work has helped define the modern role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in oncology. His research centers on minimally invasive approaches for cancers of the oropharynx, supraglottic larynx, and the challenging parapharyngeal space. Zorzi’s major contributions include pioneering comparative studies, such as his 2013 pilot comparing TORS to transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic cancer (80 citations), which established benchmarks for functional and oncologic outcomes. He has also been instrumental in expanding TORS indications, demonstrating its feasibility for rare retrostyloid parapharyngeal space schwannomas (36 citations) and providing real-world data on its efficacy against intensity-modulated radiation therapy for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer. His work on salvage TORS for recurrent disease and on managing soft tissue necrosis after postoperative radiotherapy addresses critical gaps in survivorship care. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 150, Zorzi’s research is a cornerstone for surgeons and oncologists seeking to optimize transoral techniques while minimizing toxicity, making him a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery.
