About
Marissa Mencio is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and remote-access techniques in endocrine surgery, with a particular emphasis on thyroidectomy. Her work critically evaluates emerging “scarless” approaches, such as transoral and axillary thyroidectomy, which aim to eliminate visible neck scarring while maintaining surgical safety and efficacy. In her highly cited 2021 review, “All roads lead to the thyroid gland,” Mencio systematically compares these novel techniques against the traditional Kocher incision, offering surgeons a comprehensive framework for patient selection and procedural decision-making. Though early in her career, her contributions are already shaping how the field balances cosmetic outcomes with clinical rigor. Mencio’s research addresses a growing patient demand for scarless surgery, and her analyses help guide the adoption of these techniques in practice. With her work cited in subsequent studies on surgical innovation, she is establishing herself as a thoughtful voice in the evolution of thyroid surgery—bridging technical precision, patient-centered care, and evidence-based practice. Her ongoing investigations promise to further refine the role of remote-access approaches in endocrine surgery.
