About

Sarah M. Drejet is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing patient selection and outcomes in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancer. Her most cited work, "Preoperative cephalometric analysis to predict transoral robotic surgery exposure" (2014, 26 citations), pioneered the use of cephalometric measurements from standard preoperative imaging to predict surgical access—a critical step in reducing operative complications and improving surgical planning. This study demonstrated that specific anatomical parameters could forecast TORS feasibility, directly impacting clinical decision-making. More recently, Drejet examined perioperative pain management in "Evaluating the risks and benefits of ketorolac in transoral robotic surgery" (2021, 4 citations), weighing the analgesic benefits against potential bleeding risks in this minimally invasive setting. Her work bridges radiology and surgical oncology, offering practical tools for safer, more personalized robotic surgery. Drejet’s contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based approaches to patient selection and postoperative care in head and neck oncology.
