    My research focuses on clinical otolaryngology, with particular emphasis on peripheral facial nerve palsy in adult and children. I also conduct research regarding nasopharyngeal cancer and laryngology, including vocal fold leukoplakia, and clinical outcomes following treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer.

Research

  • My research spans several areas. First, I focus on peripheral facial nerve palsy and Bell’s palsy, particularly ocular complications and long-term sequelae of incomplete recovery that may require surgical intervention. I am also involved in a large Swedish multicentre study evaluating medical treatment in children with facial palsy.

    In addition, my research addresses the risk of malignant transformation in vocal fold leukoplakia and other premalignant lesions, registry-based studies of nasopharyngeal cancer treatment in Sweden, and survival and long-term sequelae following treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer.

    I also conduct research aimed at improving surgical access in laryngeal surgery, evaluating laryngeal surgery in transgender patients, and investigating laryngeal papillomatosis. Projects focusing on retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction are currently underway.
