About
Dr. Suresh C. Sharma is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex tumors of the oral cavity and parapharyngeal space. His major contributions center on expanding the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to reduce the need for morbid open procedures like mandibulotomy. His most cited work, "Transoral robotic surgery for the parapharyngeal space: expanding the transoral corridor" (2019, 39 citations), demonstrates how TORS can safely access deep-seated tumors, offering patients faster recovery and fewer complications. In a subsequent study on posteriorly positioned oral tongue cancers (2020), he further showed that TORS can spare patients from mandibulotomy, preserving jaw function without compromising oncologic outcomes. While his citation impact is still growing, Dr. Sharma’s work is notable for its practical, patient-centered innovation—directly translating robotic technology into improved surgical care. His research is essential reading for surgeons seeking to adopt TORS for traditionally challenging anatomical sites.
