About

Dr. Marc Hinterthaner is a leading thoracic and urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and optimizing patient outcomes through evidence-based practice. His major contributions lie in two key areas: the surgical management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and thymectomy for mediastinal pathology. In his highly cited 2019 systematic review and network meta-analysis (27 citations), Dr. Hinterthaner provided a comprehensive comparison of multiple surgical approaches for UPJO, offering crucial guidance for clinicians selecting the most effective technique. His 2017 meta-analysis (25 citations) directly compared robotic video-assisted thoracic surgery (RVATS) to open sternotomy for thymectomy, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the robotic approach. Through these rigorous, large-scale analyses, Dr. Hinterthaner has helped establish benchmarks for surgical quality and informed clinical decision-making. His work is widely referenced by surgeons seeking to adopt less invasive methods while maintaining excellent outcomes, cementing his reputation as a methodical researcher dedicated to translating comparative effectiveness data into practical surgical advancements.
