About
Fabrizio Minervini is a thoracic surgeon whose research has established him as a leading voice in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. His work spans three principal domains: the surgical management of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), mediastinal tumors — particularly thymomas — and intraoperative localization techniques for pulmonary nodules. Minervini has made especially significant contributions to robotic-assisted first rib resection for TOS, with multiple publications exploring its safety, efficacy, and potential as a new gold standard of care. His systematic review and meta-analysis on indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for malignant pulmonary nodule localization, his most cited work with 25 citations, addresses a critical challenge in the era of increasingly detected small lung cancers. His comparative study of robotic versus transsternal thymectomy, drawing on a decade of single-center experience, further underscores his commitment to evidence-based adoption of minimally invasive techniques. Collectively, Minervini's publications reflect a consistent drive to refine surgical approaches that minimize patient morbidity without compromising oncological or procedural outcomes, making his work highly relevant to surgeons, trainees, and researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of modern thoracic surgery.
