About
Dr. Abhinav Dewan is a leading surgical oncologist whose work has significantly advanced the management of head and neck cancers, particularly through the adoption of minimally invasive techniques. His primary research focuses on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal malignancies, where he has been a pioneer in demonstrating its feasibility and safety in challenging clinical scenarios. His landmark 2015 study on salvage TORS for recurrent or residual head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (29 citations) established the procedure as a viable option for patients with limited alternatives, proving its technical adequacy and ability to achieve clear surgical margins. This work, alongside his 2014 preliminary experience at a tertiary cancer centre in India (11 citations), has helped expand access to robotic surgery in resource-constrained settings. Dr. Dewan’s contributions extend beyond head and neck oncology; his 2019 case report on carcinosarcoma of the prostate with osteosarcomatous differentiation (2 citations) highlights his engagement with rare, aggressive urological malignancies. By bridging surgical innovation with clinical necessity, Dr. Dewan has not only improved outcomes for patients with recurrent disease but also laid the groundwork for broader adoption of robotic techniques in India and beyond.
