About
Dr. Stefano Pelucchi is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS). His research centers on expanding TORS beyond its traditional oncological applications, demonstrating its transformative potential for benign conditions and complex diagnostic challenges. Dr. Pelucchi’s major contributions include pioneering robotic approaches for submandibular gland pathologies, such as the novel intraoral sialadenectomy for hilo-parenchymal stones, and advancing the use of TORS for detecting unknown primary head and neck cancers. His landmark 10-year institutional experience comparing TORS to definitive chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer, cited over 35 times, provides critical long-term outcome data. With a portfolio of highly cited works—including a systematic review on alternative TORS applications (38 citations) and a meta-analysis on unknown primary detection (32 citations)—his impact is substantial. Dr. Pelucchi has also explored quality of life in sleep apnea surgery and tackled rare conditions like Eagle syndrome via robotic styloidectomy. Through his innovative, minimally invasive techniques, he is consistently pushing the envelope of what robotic surgery can achieve in the head and neck.
