About
Filippo Tommaso Gallina is a thoracic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and thoracic oncology, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). His research has significantly advanced the understanding of robotic lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating its oncological equivalence and perioperative advantages over traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted techniques. His most-cited work, a 2021 single-center retrospective analysis (28 citations), rigorously evaluated nodal upstaging outcomes across surgical approaches — a clinically critical metric for staging accuracy. Gallina has extended this work to special populations, including elderly patients, and has explored innovative adjuncts such as fluorescence-guided nodule identification during minimally invasive resections. Beyond lung cancer, he has contributed substantially to the field of thymic surgery, co-authoring landmark national multicenter studies examining robotic thymectomy in thymic tumors and myasthenic patients, collectively attracting over 20 citations. His breadth extends further to surgical ergonomics and pain management protocols, reflecting a holistic approach to optimizing patient and surgeon outcomes. Together, his body of work positions him as a meaningful contributor to the ongoing evolution of robotic thoracic surgery.
