About
Carolina Perali is a leading figure in thoracic and general surgery, renowned for her rigorous evidence-based evaluations of minimally invasive techniques. Her research primarily focuses on comparing open, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and robotic approaches for major procedures, aiming to define the safest and most effective surgical strategies. Her landmark 2020 systematic review and network meta-analysis on pulmonary lobectomy for cancer, which has garnered 74 citations, critically assessed outcomes across these three modalities, providing essential guidance for surgeons navigating the adoption of robotic technology. Similarly, her 2019 meta-analysis on robotic inguinal hernia repair, cited 73 times, directly addressed the pivotal question of whether technological advancement is outpacing proven clinical benefit. Through these high-impact works, Perali has helped shape contemporary surgical decision-making, offering clear, data-driven insights that balance innovation with patient safety. Her contributions are indispensable for trainees and practitioners seeking to understand the real-world implications of surgical robotics in oncology and hernia surgery.
