About
Koji Ushiro is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management and postoperative outcomes of pharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, with a particular emphasis on transoral non-robotic surgical techniques. His major contribution lies in systematically characterizing the complication profile of these procedures, most notably dysphagia, through rigorous multicenter retrospective analyses. In his landmark 2024 study, Ushiro and colleagues provided critical data on the incidence and severity of swallowing dysfunction and other adverse events following transoral surgery, offering evidence-based guidance for patient selection and perioperative care. This work, which has already garnered early citations, fills a significant gap in the literature by clarifying the risks associated with non-robotic approaches—an area previously overshadowed by robotic surgery studies. Ushiro’s findings are instrumental for surgeons seeking to balance oncologic efficacy with functional preservation, and his collaborative multicenter framework sets a standard for future outcomes research in head and neck oncology. His ongoing investigations continue to refine surgical safety and quality of life for patients with aerodigestive tract malignancies.
