About

Marco Ferrari is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted endoscopic skull base surgery. His work centers on developing and validating hybrid robotic systems to overcome the limitations of traditional transnasal approaches, particularly for complex skull base tumors. Ferrari’s major contributions include the first preclinical evaluation of a novel robotic endoscope holder for transsphenoidal surgery (2019, 18 citations) and a subsequent single-centre case series demonstrating its clinical feasibility (2021, 10 citations). These studies provide critical evidence that robotic assistance can enhance surgical precision, stability, and ergonomics in minimally invasive skull base procedures. His comprehensive literature review (2020, 9 citations) synthesizes early robotic applications and his personal experience, establishing a roadmap for future innovation. Ferrari has also explored future perspectives in managing anterior skull base malignancies, integrating advances in genomics and radiology to improve diagnosis and treatment. With a focused body of work that bridges engineering and clinical practice, Ferrari is shaping the next generation of robotic tools for one of neurosurgery’s most demanding fields.
