About

Davide Patrini is a thoracic surgeon whose work bridges complex surgical challenges with cutting-edge technology. His research centers on three key areas: the surgical management of retrosternal goitre, the application of robotic-assisted techniques for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), and the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for localizing malignant pulmonary nodules. Patrini’s major contributions include demonstrating that a cervical approach suffices for most retrosternal goitre cases, while also clarifying when sternotomy or thoracotomy is necessary—a nuanced guide that has earned his 2017 review 28 citations. His 2022 meta-analysis on ICG (25 citations) provides critical evidence for improving intraoperative identification of small lung cancers, a growing challenge in the era of enhanced detection. Patrini also advanced robotic surgery for TOS, reporting a single-center experience with robotic-assisted first rib resection (15 citations) and contributing to virtual learning environments for robotic education, as seen in his 2024 learner analysis. His work on rare mediastinal hemangioendothelioma (15 citations) further showcases his expertise in managing uncommon thoracic pathologies. With a focus on precision, innovation, and education, Patrini’s research directly impacts surgical decision-making and training.
