About
Marc Zanello is a neurosurgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on stereotactic neurosurgery, robot-assisted procedures, and minimally invasive brain interventions. His research has made significant contributions to advancing the safety and precision of stereotactic brain biopsies, particularly through the integration of robotic systems, intraoperative CT imaging, and frameless registration technologies. His landmark 2021 study analyzing robot-assisted stereotactic biopsies in 377 consecutive adult patients with diffuse gliomas — now cited 27 times — established critical benchmarks for diagnostic yield and postoperative safety in this challenging patient population. Zanello has systematically investigated both the technical and procedural factors underlying complications, including a focused 2020 analysis of postoperative intracerebral haematomas that helps surgeons distinguish planning errors from execution failures. Beyond biopsy work, he has expanded robotic neurosurgery into endoscopic third ventriculostomy and stereoelectroencephalography for drug-resistant epilepsy, demonstrating the broader clinical applicability of these techniques. His 21-year retrospective on nonyield biopsy rates offers rare longitudinal insight into procedural limitations. With a growing citation record across multiple high-impact studies, Zanello represents an important voice shaping the future of precision, technology-assisted neurosurgery.
