About
Tessa Goldsmith is a leading clinical researcher in head and neck surgical oncology, with a focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Her work centers on improving perioperative outcomes and standardizing surgical practices. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Feeding Tube Placement Following Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma" (13 citations), she identified key predictors for feeding tube dependency, providing critical guidance for postoperative nutritional management and reducing unnecessary interventions. Goldsmith also led a landmark 2022 survey on behalf of the American Head and Neck Society, "Practice patterns in transoral robotic surgery" (6 citations), which mapped current clinical approaches across institutions, highlighting variability and informing future consensus guidelines. Her research directly impacts patient quality of life by refining recovery protocols after TORS. As an academic surgeon, Goldsmith bridges the gap between technical innovation and practical patient care, with her work cited by peers seeking evidence-based strategies for managing complex head and neck cancer cases. Her contributions are shaping the evolution of minimally invasive surgical oncology.
