Formación académica
Dr. Marcelo Amato is a neurosurgeon and spine surgeon in São Paulo, Brazil, with a particular focus on endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery. He graduated from the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto Medical School in 2004 and completed his neurosurgery residency at the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto in 2009. He later earned a PhD in Neurosurgery/Clinical Surgery from the University of São Paulo and completed postdoctoral training in Clinical Surgery. He holds specialist qualifications in Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery recognized by the Brazilian Neurosurgery and Spine societies together with the Brazilian Medical Association. His professional registration is CRM-SP 116,579, with RQE 29,417. [1] [2]
Since 2013, Dr. Amato has developed clinical, academic and research activities in endoscopic spine surgery. The site describes a track record that includes scientific publications and books, national and international teaching activities, courses for physicians and surgical consulting across Brazil. He is also presented as a collaborator of the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto Medical School and as the director of Amato Hospital Day in São Paulo. [1] [2]
Earlier in his career, he worked as a neurosurgeon at the São Paulo Air Force Hospital from 2010 to 2018. According to his professional profile, he helped rebuild the hospital’s neurosurgery service and performed more than 250 high-complexity neurosurgical procedures during that period, including brain-tumor surgery, brain and spine endoscopy, and surgery for spinal deformities. [1]
What may be relevant to patients
Patients who are considering spine surgery may value Dr. Amato’s combination of clinical practice, research and medical education. His stated experience in endoscopic spine surgery allows him to discuss different treatment strategies—such as decompression, endoscopic surgery and fusion—according to the diagnosis, symptoms, imaging findings and goals of each patient. The doctor’s own website emphasizes that endoscopic surgery should not be recommended automatically: the appropriate technique depends on the individual case. [2]
His academic work includes research on training models for transforaminal endoscopic spine procedures and studies related to radiation exposure during endoscopic lumbar spine surgery. The site also reports continued collaboration with the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto Medical School to include endoscopic spine surgery training in neurosurgery residency education.
