About

Gerardo Mordojovich is a thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on the safety, standardization, and human factors in robotic surgery. His most cited work, "Robotic development: ‘patients’ safety always comes first’" (2022, 10 citations), establishes his core commitment to prioritizing patient safety during the adoption of advanced surgical technologies. He further explores the human cost of innovation in "Robotic surgery and work-related stress: A systematic review" (2024, 7 citations), a critical contribution that examines ergonomic and psychological burdens on surgeons—a vital yet often overlooked aspect of robotic practice. Most notably, Mordojovich is a co-author of "New standardized five-zone lobectomy with structured assessment in robotic surgery: the French lobectomy" (2025, 2 citations), which proposes the first academic, certified training program for robotic lobectomy. This work addresses a major gap in thoracic surgery education by introducing a reproducible, structured approach to a complex procedure. Together, his publications demonstrate a dual focus: advancing technical standardization for safer patient outcomes while advocating for surgeon well-being. Mordojovich’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in the safe, sustainable integration of robotics into thoracic surgery.
