About

Marco Cavaleri is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of thoracic surgery, robotic-assisted operative techniques, and perioperative pain management. His research has made meaningful contributions to the evolving field of loco-regional anesthesia, with a particular focus on the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as an effective postoperative analgesic strategy for patients undergoing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. His 2021 case series on continuous ESPB helped establish early clinical evidence for this technique in one of the most painful surgical specialties, garnering 10 citations and drawing attention to its practical applicability in minimally invasive thoracic contexts. Building on this foundation, his 2024 comprehensive review of loco-regional anesthesia options for robotic thoracic surgery — already accumulating 9 citations — positions him as a thoughtful synthesizer of current best practices. Cavaleri has also extended his surgical interests into the management of rare mediastinal pathologies, contributing to a multicentric study on robotic approaches to thymic cysts. Collectively, his work reflects a commitment to improving patient outcomes through refined surgical technique and smarter perioperative care, offering valuable guidance to surgeons and anesthesiologists navigating the complexities of modern thoracic practice.
