About

Eugenio Pompeo is a leading figure in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing surgical techniques and improving ergonomics in the operating room. His research focuses on the comparative assessment of three-dimensional (3D) versus two-dimensional (2D) thoracoscopic approaches, as well as the ergonomic benefits of robotic-assisted surgery. Pompeo’s most-cited work, "Ergonomical Assessment of Three-Dimensional Versus Two-Dimensional Thoracoscopic Lobectomy" (2020), with 7 citations, highlights his commitment to enhancing surgeon comfort and precision during complex procedures like lobectomy. He has also contributed to the broader landscape of Italian thoracic surgery, co-authoring "Minimally invasive thoracic surgery: new trends in Italy" (2015, 6 citations), which documents the country’s pioneering role in adopting video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lobectomy and esophagectomy. His recent study, "Ergonomic Assessment of Robotic versus Thoracoscopic Thymectomy" (2024, 2 citations), further explores the superiority of robotic systems in providing 3D magnified vision and maneuverability. Pompeo’s work not only advances surgical practice but also underscores the importance of ergonomics in reducing physical strain on surgeons, making him a key contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
