About
Agostino Guida is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on the application of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to complex oncological cases. His primary research focuses on expanding the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery within the head and neck district, particularly for challenging anatomical sites like the parapharyngeal space. Guida’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of TORS for parapharyngeal space tumours, as evidenced by his landmark 2018 case series (41 citations), which provided crucial early evidence for this novel approach. He further validated the technique’s broader applicability through a comprehensive retrospective study of 67 patients (2020, 9 citations), showcasing TORS as an excellent alternative for treating cervico-facial malignancies. By systematically addressing the historical difficulty of accessing the distal oropharynx, Guida has helped shift the surgical paradigm toward less invasive, robotic-assisted procedures. His work has been instrumental in establishing TORS as a viable option for improving patient outcomes, reducing morbidity, and expanding the surgical armamentarium against head and neck cancers.
