About
Dr. Graziana Barile is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thyroid procedures. Her primary research centers on refining and validating the transaxillary robotic-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS) technique, a method that offers superior cosmetic outcomes by concealing incisions in the armpit. Dr. Barile’s landmark 2019 study, which has garnered 22 citations, provided one of the earliest detailed descriptions of this technique using the Da Vinci Xi platform, demonstrating its feasibility and safety for selected patients with benign thyroid disease or low-risk cancer. This work has been instrumental in establishing RATS as a viable alternative to conventional endoscopic approaches, reducing visible scarring while maintaining surgical precision. Her contributions are particularly valuable for young patients and those concerned with postoperative aesthetics, expanding the toolkit for thyroid surgeons worldwide. By systematically documenting outcomes and technical nuances, Dr. Barile has helped set the stage for broader adoption of robotic thyroidectomy, making her a key figure in the evolution of scarless neck surgery.
