About

Alessandro Rebusso is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of myasthenia gravis and thymoma. His work centers on validating robotic-assisted thymectomy as a safe, effective alternative to traditional open sternotomy. In his landmark study of 100 consecutive patients (2013, 109 citations), Rebusso demonstrated that robotic thymectomy yields excellent neurologic outcomes and minimal morbidity, establishing a new standard for minimally invasive care. He further solidified this approach with a propensity score-matched study (2018, 56 citations) comparing robotic and trans-sternal thymectomy for early-stage thymoma, showing comparable oncologic results with reduced hospital stays. His comprehensive review on robotic-assisted thymectomy (2016, 15 citations) remains a key resource for surgeons adopting the technique. Most recently, Rebusso published a 20-year experience analysis (2025), confirming durable long-term neurologic improvement in myasthenia gravis patients. With over 185 total citations, his work has shaped international guidelines and inspired a generation of surgeons to embrace robotic approaches, ultimately improving recovery and quality of life for patients with thymic disorders.
