About
Dr. Surender Dabas is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in oncology, particularly for challenging patient populations. His research centers on the de-escalation and salvage treatment of head and neck cancers, with a specific focus on HPV-negative oropharyngeal and supraglottic carcinomas. Dr. Dabas has been instrumental in demonstrating that TORS can achieve favorable oncological outcomes while potentially reducing treatment morbidity, as evidenced by his prospective trials on de-intensified treatment for stage I-II disease (35 citations) and advanced stage III-IV tumors (27 citations). His landmark contributions to salvage surgery are equally impactful; his work on TORS for recurrent head and neck cancers (29 citations) and his single-institution salvage experience (29 citations) have helped establish robotic surgery as a viable option in previously irradiated fields. Beyond the head and neck, Dr. Dabas has innovated in robotic retroauricular thyroidectomy and intraoral microsurgical reconstruction, showcasing his versatility. With a growing body of internationally cited work, he is a leading voice in minimally invasive surgical oncology, particularly from the Indian subcontinent.
