About

N. De Zoysa is a pioneering otolaryngologist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on oropharyngeal tumors. His major contribution lies in the development of endoscopic video-assisted transoral resection, a novel approach that achieves the precision of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) using widely available instruments. This innovation democratizes access to advanced surgical care, making it feasible in departments without robotic infrastructure. His most cited paper, "Endoscopic video-assisted transoral resection of lateral oropharyngeal tumors" (2017, 8 citations), details this technique, demonstrating its efficacy in facilitating complex resections while reducing costs and technical barriers. Though his citation count is modest, the work’s practical impact is significant, offering a scalable solution for resource-limited settings. De Zoysa’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and clinical accessibility, underscoring his commitment to expanding surgical options for patients worldwide. His contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and surgeons seeking adaptable, cost-effective alternatives in oncologic surgery.
