About

Marco Mammana is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for mediastinal tumors, particularly thymoma. His major contributions lie in advancing robotic-assisted thymectomy as a safe and effective alternative to traditional open surgery. In his landmark 2018 propensity score-matching study, cited over 56 times, Mammana demonstrated that robotic thymectomy for early-stage thymoma achieves comparable oncological outcomes to trans-sternal approaches, with reduced postoperative morbidity and shorter hospital stays. This work has helped shift clinical practice toward less invasive strategies, offering patients faster recovery without compromising survival. Beyond this, his research portfolio explores surgical innovations in lung cancer and mediastinal pathology, emphasizing evidence-based comparisons of operative techniques. Mammana’s studies are frequently referenced in guidelines and systematic reviews, underscoring their impact on thoracic surgery. His commitment to rigorous methodology and patient-centered outcomes has established him as a respected voice in the field, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize surgical care for thoracic malignancies.
