About

Nicola Tartaglia is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgery, particularly through the application of robotic technology in gastrointestinal and thyroid procedures. His major contributions focus on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic approaches, with a landmark systematic review on energy-based vessel sealing devices in thyroid surgery (24 citations) that clarified their relationship with recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries—a critical concern in endocrine surgery. Tartaglia has also made significant strides in robotic paraesophageal hernia repair (21 citations) and comparative studies of right hemicolectomy (11 citations), demonstrating that robotic techniques can match or surpass traditional laparoscopy in oncological outcomes. His work extends to bariatric surgery, where he has explored robotic sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass as valid alternatives to laparoscopy. Notably, Tartaglia has investigated the underexplored link between intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic/robotic surgery and hindbrain-related syringomyelia, highlighting his commitment to patient safety beyond standard outcomes. With over 70 cumulative citations, his research is shaping evidence-based guidelines for robotic surgery, making him a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive techniques.
