Profile

Dr. Marco Stacchini is an ENT surgeon working at the “M. Bufalini” Hospital in Cesena, Italy. He has always had a special interest in surgical voice rehabilitation. His Otolaryngology dissertation was on fat injection laryngoplasty for treating dysphonia, in unilateral vocal cord paralysis. He regularly participates as speaker, surgical tutor and trainer in national and international scientific congresses and workshops related to the field of Phonosurgery.

At the ENT Dept. in Cesena, he is involved in the clinical evaluation and surgical treatment of oncological and functional diseases of the larynx. His annual surgical activity includes about 40 laser chordectomies for early glottic cancer, partial and total laryngectomies for advanced laryngeal cancers. Also dealing with the functional phase of rehabilitation, he has developed minimally invasive techniques for improving voice and swallowing in operated cancer patients. He has authored articles and book chapters on these topics.

At the same time, he specialized on functional surgeries, especially for voice professionals (singers and speakers). He has also been involved in the development of minimally invasive laryngeal surgical techniques, working jointly with well-known international laryngologist as Prof. Borragan (Santander, Spain). He has perfected a number of injection laryngoplasty procedures, using the operative fibroscopic technique in local anaesthesia.

In recent years, he became interested in voice feminization and voice-deepening surgeries. His familiarity with various techniques in laryngeal surgery has resulted in rapid growth in the field of transgender surgery. He gained experience in type III and IV thyroplasty as well as glottoplasty procedures. For these reasons Cesena ENT has become the national reference center for glottoplasty procedures in feminization of the voice, as specified in the official website of the Italian National Institute of Health, dedicated to the well-being of transgender people https://www.infotrans.it/ .

His hobbies include water sports, such as swimming and apnea freediving. He completed the crossing of the Adriatic Sea by relay swimming and has a personal record for freediving at 42 meters of depth.
