About

Ilaria De Rosa is a thoracic surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly the application of robotic-assisted systems in complex thoracic procedures. Her research focuses on refining surgical approaches for rare mediastinal and pleural tumors, with a specific emphasis on improving outcomes for high-risk patients, including those with obesity. Her most cited paper, "Anterior mediastinal solitary fibrous tumor resection by da Vinci® Surgical System in obese patient" (2017, 5 citations), demonstrates her pioneering use of the da Vinci robotic platform to safely resect an uncommon soft tissue tumor in a challenging anatomical location. This work highlights her contribution to expanding the indications for robotic surgery, showing that even rare mediastinal pathologies can be managed effectively with minimally invasive techniques, reducing recovery time and surgical morbidity. De Rosa’s research underscores the importance of tailoring advanced surgical technologies to individual patient needs, advancing the field of thoracic oncology by making complex resections more accessible and safer. Her findings serve as a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to optimize care for patients with solitary fibrous tumors and other thoracic malignancies.
