About
Gianluca Frustaci is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thyroid procedures. His research centers on advancing surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, notably through the refinement of robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATS), which eliminates visible neck scarring. Frustaci’s most cited work, a 2016 case report (31 citations), critically examines the limitations of RATS, highlighting the importance of controlled surgical indications and the management of unprecedented complications. This contribution underscores his commitment to balancing innovation with patient safety, offering essential guidance for surgeons navigating the complexities of scarless neck surgery. Beyond this, Frustaci has explored the broader implications of robotic surgery in endocrine oncology, contributing to the development of protocols that minimize morbidity while maximizing cosmetic and functional results. His work has been instrumental in shaping best practices for RATS, influencing both clinical guidelines and surgical training. With a citation impact that reflects his role as a thought leader, Frustaci continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in thyroid surgery, ensuring that technological advancements translate into tangible benefits for patients worldwide.
