About
Luca Castellani is a leading voice in the advancement of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS). His most-cited work, a systematic review and meta-analysis on conversion rates in RATS, provides a critical safety benchmark for the field, systematically identifying which patient subgroups and surgical approaches carry the highest risk of conversion to open procedures. This foundational research, garnering 11 citations, directly informs preoperative risk stratification and surgical decision-making, helping to refine patient selection and improve outcomes. Beyond this landmark study, Castellani’s broader research portfolio consistently explores the frontiers of surgical innovation, aiming to reduce invasiveness while maintaining oncologic rigor. His work is instrumental in moving robotic thyroid surgery from an emerging technique to a standardized, evidence-based practice, making him a key figure for any student or researcher interested in the future of head and neck surgery.
