About

Marco Puccini is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic endocrine surgery, with a focused expertise in thyroid and neuroendocrine tumor management. His work is pivotal in challenging and expanding the conventional boundaries of surgical indications. Notably, his 2023 study on robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy (7 citations) directly questions the restrictive 2016 ATA guidelines, demonstrating through retrospective analysis that the procedure can be safely and effectively extended to patients with larger nodules and thyroiditis, thereby broadening access to scarless surgery. Complementing this, his 2021 international survey on small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms (SB-NEN, 8 citations) highlights a critical gap in practice, revealing that despite the rise of minimally invasive techniques, their adoption for SB-NEN remains slow. By identifying surgeon hesitancy and technical barriers, Puccini’s work provides a roadmap for future training and standardization. With a growing citation impact that underscores his influence on clinical guidelines, Puccini is a key voice driving the evolution toward less invasive, patient-centered surgical paradigms.
