During his career he performed over 10.000 surgical procedures, most of them with a high degree of complexity. These interventions were carried out with innovative surgical techniques. They involved middle and inner ear lesions, anterior and lateral skull base pathology and head & neck cancer disease. The high number of endoscopic procedures he performed, with particular reference to the middle and inner ear and to the lateral skull base is worthy of notice. The number of such operations represents one of the world major case series in that specific field.

He is a founding member of the IWGEES (International Working Group for Endoscopic Surgery Ear) and he collaborates with leading international hospitals and Universities. Teaming up with Professor Presutti he performed the first transcanalar endoscopic approaches for the treatment of ear cholesteatoma in Italy.

Thanks to several years of study and numerous anatomical dissections Professor Marchioni, along with Professor Presutti, encoded a transpromontorial minimally invasive approach for the treatment of acoustic neuromas localized at the level of the internal auditory canal. Moreover, he described the first totally endoscopic approaches for the treatment of facial nerve tumors.

In addition, he published the first international book on the endoscopic treatment of middle and inner ear diseases, of acoustic neuromas and of lateral skull base lesions. He is teacher and faculty member of several international centers and he holds workshops in many countries in order to spread the endoscopic technique for ear and lateral skull base surgery.

She graduated from residency in Otorhinolaryngology in 2019 at the University of Verona under the guidance of Professor Daniele Marchioni.

She became well experienced in otosurgery and neurotology through many fellow research visits and observerships around the world, specifically at the University of Minnesota (US), Toronto (CA), Sydney (AU) and Dehradun (India).

Alessia has also authored and coauthored several research papers. Her main area of interest is middle-inner ear and lateral skull base surgery.

Nicola took his medical degree at Modena University (Italy) in 2018. He graduated with a thesis on the role of the endoscope in lateral skull base surgery, under the guidance of distinguished professor Livio Presutti, for which he won the “Gianfranco D’Ascanio” prize.

Since November 2019 he has been a resident at the department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of Verona University hospital led by distinguished professor Daniele Marchioni.

He has also co-authored a number of research papers and book chapters. He won the Academy AUORL 2020 main prize for his speech concerning the endolymphatic sac tumor.

Nicola’s competence in the English language is certified both by the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS, band score 8). His main areas of interest are endoscopic ear, anterior and lateral skull base surgery.

Stefano completed his medical degree at University of Naples (Italy) Federico II in 2017. Since 2018 he has been a resident at the department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery of Verona University hospital led by distinguished Prof. Daniele Marchioni.

He also contributed to scientific papers related to lateral skull base surgery and paediatric otorhinolaryngology.

Stefano has both a good communicative competence in the English language and excellent computer skills.

Currently, his main interests include endoscopic ear surgery and endoscopic sinus surgery.
