About

Dr. Erin Ware is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology and advanced robotics, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of Eagle syndrome. Her most impactful contribution is a landmark 2024 systematic review on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for this rare but debilitating condition. In this highly cited work (10 citations), Dr. Ware critically evaluated the safety and efficacy of TORS, establishing it as a viable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional open approaches. By systematically analyzing the emerging literature, she provided the first consolidated evidence base for this novel technique, directly informing clinical decision-making and setting a new standard of care. Her research demonstrates a clear commitment to translating cutting-edge technology into tangible patient benefits, reducing recovery times and surgical morbidity. Dr. Ware’s work has rapidly gained recognition within the field, positioning her as a leading voice in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery and a key figure in the future of minimally invasive otolaryngologic procedures.
