Mr Marco Scarci
MD FRCS(Eng) FCCP FACS FEBTS
Consultant Thoracic Surgeon
I am currently a Consultant Thoracic Surgeon at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, before I was a consultant at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge and University College London Hospital. I have been a consultant for over 14 years. I run a very busy clinical practice mainly focusing on minimally invasive surgery for cancer and benign conditions and chest wall diseases, in particular chest wall conditions after failed pectus deformity repair and trauma. I am familiar with the latest evidence on these conditions and have developed a strong research interest in this field.
As well as running my clinical practices, both NHS and private, I have set up and am running a successful International Thoracic Oncology Symposium.
I also research, have published (and continue to publish) and lecture in the field of single port surgery and chest wall conditions. I have published several chapters on these topics and have published 4 books.
I am involved in the leadership of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons and am associate editors of journal of thoracic diseases and frontiers in surgery. I am a regular reviewer for some of the most prestigious journals in cardiothoracic surgery. I published over 200 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Whilst I continue to work as a Consultant Thoracic Surgeon on a full-time basis, there is a short turnaround time for producing reports. I am normally able to see clients within 24 hours if needed and prepare a report within a week (subject to other commitments/annual leave). The time taken for the report is approximately 4–6 hours work but, if required, I can supply an approximate fee once full instruction and medical records for review are received. I do approximately 4-5 reports a month. Once I have been given the initial information surrounding the events giving rise to the claim, I am usually able to advise the solicitor running the file of the merits of the case (pro bono 15 minute conversation).
Within clinical negligence I specialise in cases with difficult and complicated issues on breach of duty where his medical qualification and further specialist training enables him to better understand the full breadth of the potential issues and get the most from the interaction with other experts and legal counsel. He has experience with joint experts reports and coroners courts.
