About

Paolo Battaglia is a prominent surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive techniques, endoscopic skull base surgery, and robotic-assisted head and neck procedures. His most influential contribution, "Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Past, Present and Future" (2010), has garnered 159 citations and remains a foundational reference for surgeons navigating the evolution of transnasal approaches to complex cranial anatomy. Battaglia has been a pioneering voice in exploring the feasibility of robotic surgery for challenging anatomical territories, demonstrated through his cadaveric studies on combined transoral-transnasal robotic nasopharyngectomy and transcervical-transnasal posterior skull base dissection — work that helped establish proof-of-concept for approaches once considered technically prohibitive. His 2019 paper on hybrid robotics for endoscopic skull base surgery reflects a sustained commitment to integrating emerging technologies into clinical practice. Beyond skull base work, Battaglia has addressed nuanced clinical scenarios such as tongue base thyroglossal duct cysts, advocating for transoral endoscopic-assisted techniques. Collectively, his research has shaped modern thinking on minimally invasive cranial and cervical surgery, offering meaningful guidance to both trainees and experienced surgeons seeking to push the boundaries of surgical access.
