About

Dr. Ullyanov Bezerra Toscano is a pioneering Brazilian head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive oncologic surgery, particularly through the implementation of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) in public healthcare settings. His most-cited study, "Experience with the introduction of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) at an oncologic hospital of the Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS)" (2018), documents the first systematic application of this technology within Brazil’s public health system. This retrospective analysis demonstrated that TORS can achieve effective oncologic outcomes for oropharyngeal and supraglottic larynx tumors—including those driven by rising HPV-related cancers—even in resource-limited environments. By showing that robotic surgery is feasible and safe within SUS, Dr. Toscano’s work has helped democratize access to cutting-edge treatment, reducing morbidity for patients who might otherwise face more invasive procedures. With 5 citations, this paper serves as a foundational reference for surgeons seeking to adopt TORS in developing healthcare systems. His contributions underscore a commitment to bridging technological innovation with public health equity, making him a key figure in the global expansion of robotic head and neck surgery.
