About

Stefano Viscardi is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for lung cancer and complex thoracic conditions. His major contributions include demonstrating that RATS reduces blood loss, shortens hospital stays, and accelerates recovery compared to traditional or video-assisted approaches. Viscardi’s work on prolonged air leak (PAL)—a common, costly complication after lung resection—has been cited 5 times, highlighting its clinical relevance. He has also pioneered the use of intraoperative fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green for robotic-assisted thoracic duct ligation, successfully treating chylothorax after thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair. His 2025 narrative review on technical innovations in robotic lung cancer surgery, with 3 citations, showcases his expertise in pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology. Viscardi’s research not only refines surgical techniques but also provides practical solutions to reduce morbidity and healthcare costs. For students and researchers, his work offers a clear roadmap of how robotic surgery is evolving to improve patient outcomes in thoracic oncology and complex reconstructive procedures.
