About

Erino Angelo Rendina is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of thymic tumours and mediastinal pathology, with a particular emphasis on advancing minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions centre on evaluating and comparing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) against traditional approaches such as sternotomy, thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for thymoma resection. His 2024 multicentre, nation-wide study on robotic thymectomy, with 14 citations, provides crucial long-term data supporting the feasibility and oncological safety of the robotic approach, addressing a key gap in the literature. Rendina’s 2025 comparative analysis (7 citations) further clarifies the short-term advantages of robotic surgery, while his earlier work on mediastinal staging (2019, 17 citations) remains a foundational reference for clinical decision-making. With a career spanning from early contributions in 2010 to recent high-impact studies, Rendina has helped shape modern surgical standards for thymoma, demonstrating that robotic techniques can achieve outcomes comparable to or better than open and VATS methods. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking evidence-based guidance on optimal surgical strategies for early-stage thymic tumours.
