About
Valentina Buoni is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy. Her most impactful work provides a critical, evidence-based analysis of this emerging technique, directly addressing the safety concerns that have tempered its adoption. In her landmark 2022 study, which has garnered 28 citations, Buoni conducted a rigorous, large-cohort analysis of European patients, systematically cataloging and evaluating the incidence of postsurgical complications specific to the robotic approach. This contribution is pivotal, as it moves the field beyond initial feasibility studies toward a nuanced understanding of risk management and patient selection. By offering a balanced perspective on the procedure’s benefits and its unique pitfalls, Buoni’s research serves as an essential guide for surgeons navigating the transition from traditional open thyroidectomy to robotic methods. Her work not only enhances clinical safety protocols but also shapes the future of surgical training and outcome standardization in endocrine surgery, establishing her as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of robotic thyroid surgery.
