About
Reshma Ghedia is a head and neck surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex head and neck cancers. Her key research areas include transoral robotic surgery (TORS), ultrasound-guided interventions, and innovative approaches to anatomically challenging cases. Ghedia’s major contributions lie in developing novel surgical methods that overcome traditional anatomical barriers. Notably, she pioneered the use of TORS in a modified Trendelenburg position for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with severe thoracic kyphosis—a condition that typically limits treatment options. This work, published in 2022, demonstrates her ability to adapt robotic surgery for patients with extreme anatomical constraints. Additionally, she introduced a saline-aided ultrasound-guided transoral biopsy technique for retropharyngeal nodes, validated through the IDEAL 2a framework in a 2023 feasibility study. While her citation counts are currently modest (2 citations each), these papers represent foundational contributions to surgical innovation. Ghedia’s work is particularly impactful for surgeons treating patients with previously inoperable or high-risk head and neck cancers, offering new pathways for safe, effective intervention in challenging clinical scenarios.
