About

Leonardo Tigan is a surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of peripheral nerve surgery, particularly through the innovative application of telemicrosurgery. His most cited study, "Interest of telemicrosurgery in peripheral nerve tumors: About a series of seven cases" (2013), with 17 citations, demonstrates his pioneering role in integrating robotic-assisted microsurgical techniques for the resection of peripheral nerve tumors. This work highlights his major contribution: proving the feasibility and precision of telemicrosurgery in delicate nerve-sparing procedures, thereby reducing surgical trauma and improving patient outcomes. Tigan’s research focuses on the intersection of microsurgery and robotics, addressing the challenges of operating on complex, small-scale anatomical structures. His findings have influenced surgical protocols for nerve tumor management, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional approaches. By showcasing the safety and efficacy of this technology in a clinical series, Tigan has laid the groundwork for broader adoption of telemicrosurgery in neurosurgery and orthopedics. His work remains a key reference for researchers and clinicians exploring robotic assistance in peripheral nerve repair and tumor excision.
