About

Alberto Maccari is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS). His work systematically addresses critical gaps in surgical safety and outcomes, most notably through his landmark meta-analysis on conversion rates during RATS, which has garnered 11 citations. This study, published in 2022, rigorously defined the risk of converting from robotic to open procedures, identifying high-risk patient subgroups and surgical access types—a contribution that directly informs preoperative planning and patient counseling. Maccari’s research is distinguished by its methodological precision, employing PRISMA-compliant frameworks to synthesize evidence from prospective studies. Beyond this, his broader portfolio explores the optimization of robotic techniques, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery times. His impact is evident in the growing adoption of his findings by surgical teams worldwide, and he is recognized for bridging the gap between emerging technology and evidence-based practice. For students and researchers, Maccari’s work exemplifies how targeted systematic reviews can transform surgical decision-making and patient safety.
