About

Gaetano Roman is a pioneering figure in the field of thoracic surgery, with a focused research agenda on the evolution and refinement of robotic-assisted surgical techniques. His most-cited work, "The evolution of robotic thoracic surgery" (2019, 13 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of how robotic platforms have transformed minimally invasive procedures, enhancing precision and patient outcomes in lung and mediastinal surgeries. Roman’s contributions lie in systematically documenting the transition from traditional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to robotic systems, highlighting improvements in dexterity, visualization, and reduced recovery times. His research has been instrumental in guiding surgeons and institutions in adopting these technologies, with his work cited by peers developing next-generation robotic tools and protocols. Beyond this landmark paper, Roman has actively contributed to clinical guidelines and training curricula for robotic thoracic surgery, cementing his role as a key advocate for innovation in the field. His impact is evident in the growing adoption of robotic methods, where his insights continue to shape best practices and inspire new investigations into surgical automation and patient-centered care.
