About
Leonardo Duranti is a surgeon whose work bridges the fields of thoracic surgery and head and neck oncology, with a focus on developing innovative, minimally invasive techniques for complex anatomical access. His research centers on improving surgical outcomes through novel approaches to vascular control and tumor resection. Duranti’s most cited work, "Polymer self-locking clips for vascular control during minimally invasive pulmonary lobectomies" (2010, 7 citations), introduced a practical solution for managing blood vessels in lung surgery, enhancing safety and efficiency in thoracoscopic procedures. He is also known for his 2020 paper on the transmanubrial osteomuscular-sparing approach (TOSA), which he championed as a valuable adjunct for head and neck surgeons. By adapting this technique—originally used in thoracic surgery—for both elective and emergency cases, Duranti expanded its utility for accessing the thoracic inlet, offering a less invasive alternative for managing tumors and vascular injuries. With a career dedicated to surgical innovation, his contributions have provided tools and strategies that improve patient care and broaden the armamentarium of surgeons working at the intersection of the chest and neck.
