About

Marco Fantini is a head and neck surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for laryngeal malignancies and neck dissections. His primary research focuses on improving surgical precision and accessibility through innovative training methods and technologies. Fantini’s major contributions include demonstrating the effectiveness of dissection laboratory training on human specimens for mastering modern laryngeal surgery, which requires millimetric accuracy. He has also pioneered the use of VITOM-3D exoscopic technology for retroauricular neck dissection (RAND-3D), offering a cost-effective alternative to robotic surgery while maintaining high precision. His most cited work, “Learning Modern Laryngeal Surgery in a Dissection Laboratory” (2020), has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its value in surgical education. Additionally, his preclinical investigation into 3D-assisted neck dissection (2020, 4 citations) has opened new pathways for reducing procedural costs. Fantini’s research is particularly notable for addressing the challenge of limited practice opportunities in referral centers, making advanced surgical skills more widely teachable. His achievements highlight a commitment to bridging the gap between surgical innovation and practical training, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes for patients with head and neck cancers.
