About
Casimiro Nigro is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on thyroid and adrenal procedures. His major contributions lie in refining minimally invasive techniques, particularly through the pioneering use of the transaxillary robotic approach for thyroidectomy. In his landmark study on the first 449 cases, Nigro demonstrated the safety and feasibility of this method, offering patients a scarless alternative to traditional neck surgery—a critical innovation for cosmetic outcomes. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most cited papers accumulating over 50 citations, reflecting their influence on surgical practice. Additionally, Nigro has made substantial contributions to adrenal surgery, comparing robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy in a high-volume center. His findings help clarify the indications and benefits of the robotic approach, especially for complex cases. Through his rigorous clinical research and high-volume experience, Nigro has established himself as a key authority in robotic endocrine surgery, shaping best practices and inspiring a new generation of surgeons to adopt these advanced, patient-centered techniques.
