About

Maria Carlotta Marino is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research centers on robotic thymectomy for thymic tumors and myasthenia gravis (MG), with a particular focus on severe generalized MG. Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and oncological efficacy of robotic thymectomy through large-scale, multicenter national studies—her 2024 paper on robotic thymectomy in thymic tumors has already garnered 14 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. Dr. Marino has also advanced the understanding of surgical outcomes in high-risk patients, notably investigating whether thymectomy is justified in severe MG (MGFA classes IV–V), where her 2023 work (7 citations) addresses the critical balance between surgical benefit and postoperative crisis risk. Her 2025 analysis of 20 years of robotic thymectomy experience for MG (5 citations) provides long-term neurological outcome data that strengthens the evidence base for minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Marino’s work is distinguished by its focus on patient selection, surgical technique standardization, and real-world outcomes, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of robotic thoracic surgery for thymic disease.
