About
Gianlorenzo Dionigi is a distinguished thyroid and endocrine surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the field of minimally invasive and scarless thyroid surgery. His work centers on transoral endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy, with particular emphasis on the vestibular approach (TOETVA) — a groundbreaking technique that eliminates visible neck incisions entirely. Through a prolific body of scholarship, Dionigi has systematically addressed the indications, surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, and safety frameworks surrounding these novel approaches, accumulating over 1,200 citations across his top publications alone. His 2017 paper on TOETVA indications and techniques stands as a landmark reference in the field with over 300 citations, helping establish procedural standards adopted globally. Dionigi has also critically examined robotic transoral thyroidectomy, reporting on consecutive patient series and comparing approaches such as the bilateral axillo-breast technique, advancing the evidence base with rigorous clinical analysis. His contributions extend to intraoperative neuromonitoring in endoscopic and robotic contexts, addressing one of the most critical safety concerns in thyroid surgery. Through this sustained and multifaceted research agenda, Dionigi has positioned himself as a leading international authority on scarless thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
