About

Roberto Scaramuzzi is a thoracic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. Based at the Unit of Thoracic Surgery at Monaldi Hospital in Naples, his work focuses on robotic surgical techniques applied to complex mediastinal pathologies, including thymic tumours, intrathoracic goiters, diaphragmatic hernias, and large mediastinal masses. Scaramuzzi's most impactful contribution is his involvement in a landmark multicentre, nationwide study on robotic thymectomy for thymic tumours (2024), which has already garnered 14 citations and addresses longstanding controversies regarding oncological outcomes in this technically demanding procedure. His earlier work establishing the feasibility of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (2017) laid important groundwork in the field, accumulating 9 citations alongside his research on hybrid robot-assisted approaches to anteriomediastinal retrosternal goiter resection. A recurring theme across his publications is the development and refinement of hybrid robotic thoracic surgery techniques, demonstrating their applicability across diverse and challenging clinical scenarios. Through rigorous retrospective analyses and collaborative multicentre research, Scaramuzzi has helped legitimize robotic thoracic surgery as a safe, effective alternative to traditional open procedures, shaping evolving surgical standards for mediastinal disease management.
