About
Bruno Amato is a leading figure in thoracic and robotic surgery, whose work bridges technical innovation with patient safety and ethical practice. His research primarily focuses on the surgical management of cervico-mediastinal goiters and the application of robotic systems in complex oncologic procedures, including gastric GISTs and colorectal liver metastases. Amato’s major contributions include advancing minimally invasive approaches, as demonstrated in his multicenter analysis of robotic and laparoscopic gastric GIST resections (47 citations), and systematically evaluating robotic surgery for colorectal liver metastases (42 citations). Beyond technique, he has critically shaped the discourse on surgical ethics and safety. His landmark study on informed consent in robotic surgery (52 citations) and his analysis of robotic system malfunctions and legal responsibility (51 citations) are essential references for understanding the human and regulatory dimensions of surgical technology. With his most cited work—a comprehensive review of cervico-mediastinal goiter management (75 citations)—Amato has established himself as a rigorous clinician and a thoughtful commentator on the evolving surgeon–technology interface. His work is indispensable for trainees and researchers navigating the future of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery.
