About
Monica Casiraghi is a prominent thoracic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). With a research portfolio spanning over a decade, she has made significant contributions to the adoption and refinement of minimally invasive techniques for treating early-stage lung cancer, thymoma, and esophageal cancer. Her 2018 study on ten years of robotic thoracic surgery experience (34 citations) and her propensity-score matched analysis of robotic thymectomy (39 citations) established critical evidence for the safety and efficacy of these approaches. Casiraghi has also been a pioneer in examining RATS outcomes across challenging patient populations, including obese individuals, demonstrating the technology's versatility in high-risk cases. Her innovative exploration extends beyond clinical outcomes — her 2023 study measuring surgeon stress during robotic versus open procedures offers a uniquely human perspective on surgical practice. Particularly noteworthy is her attention to patient-centered outcomes, including quality of life trajectories following lobectomy. Collectively, her work has garnered over 250 citations, cementing her reputation as a leading voice in advancing evidence-based robotic thoracic surgery worldwide.
