About
Alessandro Maraschi has established himself as a leading voice in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on the comparative evaluation of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of lung cancer. His research systematically addresses the critical dimensions clinicians and healthcare systems care about most: perioperative safety, long-term oncologic outcomes, patient quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. His most-cited work — a propensity-matched analysis comparing RATS and VATS for lung cancer resection (37 citations) — offers rigorous evidence during a period when robotic surgery's true clinical value was still under scrutiny. Complementing this, his studies on long-term outcomes in lobectomy patients (15 citations) and a nuanced cost analysis incorporating the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic (11 citations) demonstrate a rare breadth that spans both clinical and health economics perspectives. His quality-of-life comparison across robotic, video-assisted, and open surgical approaches (10 citations) reflects a patient-centered ethos central to modern surgical research. With a recent book chapter synthesizing the state of the art and future directions of robotic thoracic surgery (2025), Maraschi is actively shaping the field's trajectory, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of thoracic oncology.
