About
Tiffany Rigal is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing the surgical management of head and neck cancers, particularly through minimally invasive techniques. Her work centers on comparing functional and oncological outcomes of transoral laser surgery and transoral robotic surgery for supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma, a critical area where preserving speech and swallowing while ensuring tumor clearance is paramount. Her most-cited paper, "Functional and oncological outcomes of transoral laser versus robotic surgery in supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma" (2025), has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its timely relevance in the evolving landscape of laryngeal cancer treatment. Rigal’s contributions help guide clinical decision-making by providing evidence on which approach yields better quality-of-life outcomes without compromising survival. Her research is particularly impactful for otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons seeking to optimize patient recovery. By systematically comparing these two advanced surgical modalities, Rigal is shaping best practices in a field where technological innovation must be balanced with patient-centered care. Her work underscores a commitment to rigorous comparative effectiveness research that directly informs surgical oncology protocols.
