About

Vincenzo Rochira is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on robotic thyroidectomy and adrenalectomy. His work has been instrumental in refining surgical techniques that prioritize both oncologic safety and patient quality of life. Notably, his landmark study on transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy, analyzing the first 449 cases, established critical evolution strategies for this scarless neck surgery, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in high-volume settings. This contribution has garnered 29 citations, underscoring its influence in the field. Dr. Rochira has also made significant strides in adrenal surgery, where his comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy, based on pluriannual experience at a high-volume center, clarified the indications and clinical benefits of the robotic approach. With 27 citations, this work provides essential guidance for surgeons choosing between the two techniques, particularly when considering laterality. Through these contributions, Dr. Rochira has helped shape modern surgical practice, offering patients less invasive options with improved cosmetic outcomes and faster recovery, all while maintaining rigorous surgical standards. His ongoing research continues to push the boundaries of robotic endocrine surgery.
