About
Liliana Barone‐Adesi is a pioneering figure in the field of oncoplastic and minimally invasive breast surgery, with a focused expertise in aesthetic mastectomy techniques. Her major contributions center on advancing transaxillary nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) combined with direct-to-implant breast reconstruction, a paradigm-shifting approach that eliminates visible scars on the breast while preserving the nipple-areola complex. In her highly cited 2020 work (25 citations), she refined a simplified endoscopic method for this procedure, detailing indications, cosmetic outcomes, and technical nuances that have made the technique more reproducible and accessible. Her earlier 2019 paper (4 citations) further established the "aesthetic mastectomy" concept, integrating lymphadenectomy and submuscular reconstruction through a single transaxillary incision. Barone‐Adesi’s work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between oncologic safety and superior aesthetic results, offering patients a truly scarless option for breast cancer treatment. Her contributions have been recognized as a significant step toward the standardization of minimally invasive breast surgery, influencing surgical practice and inspiring further innovation in robotic-assisted approaches.
