About

Francesc Xavier Molina-Romero is a leading figure in endocrine surgery, with a focused expertise in the application of fluorescence imaging to enhance surgical precision. His major contributions center on pioneering the use of intraoperative fluorescence to improve outcomes in thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal procedures, particularly by enabling real-time visualization of critical structures such as parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerves. His seminal work, "Aportaciones de la fluorescencia a la cirugía endocrina" and its English counterpart "Contributions of Fluorescence to Endocrine Surgery" (2018), each garnering 9 citations, has become foundational reading for surgeons adopting this technology. These publications systematically outline how fluorescence-guided techniques reduce complications like hypoparathyroidism and nerve injury, directly impacting patient safety. Molina-Romero’s research bridges the gap between innovative optical imaging and practical surgical application, establishing him as a key advocate for integrating fluorescence into routine endocrine practice. His work continues to influence training protocols and inspire further studies on minimally invasive, image-guided approaches in endocrine surgery.
