About
Chiara Becucci is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for adrenal and thyroid pathologies. Her major contributions center on expanding the safety and efficacy of these advanced techniques, especially for complex patient populations. Dr. Becucci’s work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy can be safely extended beyond traditional guidelines, challenging the 2016 American Thyroid Association restrictions on nodule size and thyroiditis. She has also led pivotal international multicenter studies on pheochromocytoma management, showing that robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy are safe and effective for these high-risk tumors, even in obese patients. Her research, which has garnered over 26 citations in just two years, provides critical evidence for broadening surgical indications and improving outcomes. Notably, her 2024 multicenter study on adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma represents one of the largest international collaborations in this niche area, solidifying her reputation as a key opinion leader in advancing robotic endocrine surgery.
