About

Dr. Giulia Burali is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery and head and neck oncology. Her research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive robotic techniques to treat complex pathologies of the thyroid, larynx, and thymus. Dr. Burali’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of single-incision robot-assisted transaxillary surgery for early-stage papillary thyroid cancer, a technique that reduces visible scarring and improves patient recovery. She also reported the first combined robot-assisted thymectomy and transaxillary thyroidectomy, optimizing robot docking to perform two distinct procedures in a single setting. Her work on transoral robotic surgery for large mixed laryngocoeles (34 citations) established a less invasive alternative to traditional open cervical approaches, marking a significant advance in laryngeal surgery. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Burali is recognized for pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the da Vinci surgical system, offering patients safer, more precise, and cosmetically superior outcomes. Her innovations continue to shape the future of robotic head and neck surgery.
