About
Dr. Tareck Ayad is a leading otolaryngologist whose research sits at the intersection of head and neck oncology and sleep medicine. His major contributions center on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS), demonstrating its safety and efficacy for both supraglottic laryngeal cancers and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). His 2020 systematic review on TORS for supraglottic cancers (52 citations) established key benchmarks for surgical, clinical, and functional outcomes, while his 2021 meta-analysis (38 citations) provided robust evidence for TORS in base-of-tongue reduction for OSAS, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional sleep surgery. Beyond these high-impact studies, Dr. Ayad has contributed to the global understanding of sleep medicine integration within otolaryngology, as shown by his international survey (9 citations). His work has been instrumental in expanding the applications of robotic surgery, improving both cancer survival rates and quality-of-life outcomes for patients with sleep-disordered breathing. For students and researchers, Dr. Ayad’s bibliography exemplifies how rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses can shape clinical practice and drive innovation in surgical subspecialties.
