About
Dr. Chiara Catelli is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the realm of robotic-assisted and video-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS and VATS). Her most significant contribution is the first monocentric prospective randomized trial comparing RATS versus VATS for lobectomy, a landmark study published in 2023 that has already garnered 35 citations. This work provides critical evidence on the comparative efficacy and safety of these two approaches, helping to guide surgical decision-making in lung cancer treatment. Dr. Catelli also demonstrated the feasibility of robotic-assisted chest wall resection and reconstruction in a 2024 case report, achieving satisfactory outcomes in a traditionally challenging procedure that balances effective tumor removal with structural integrity. Her research addresses the ongoing evolution from open thoracotomy to less invasive methods, aiming to reduce postoperative morbidity while maintaining oncologic standards. With her focused contributions to the field, Dr. Catelli is shaping the future of thoracic surgery, offering patients safer, more precise surgical options.
