About
Kimberley Anakapu’s research centers on head and neck cancer surgery, with a particular focus on the nutritional and functional outcomes that shape patient recovery and quality of life. Her most-cited work, a 2021 systematic review published in a peer-reviewed journal, rigorously compared nutritional outcomes in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus conventional open surgery for head and neck cancers. By systematically searching PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science, she synthesized evidence on weight changes, nutritional status, and feeding-tube dependence, providing crucial insights that help surgeons and dietitians tailor perioperative care. This review, which has garnered 5 citations, is a foundational reference for clinicians evaluating the benefits of minimally invasive approaches. Beyond this study, Anakapu’s broader contributions advance the understanding of how surgical technique influences patient well-being, bridging oncology, surgery, and nutrition science. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of surgical innovation and supportive care, offering evidence that can directly improve clinical decision-making and long-term outcomes for head and neck cancer survivors.
