About

Maria Sibilia is a leading thoracic surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for disorders of the autonomic nervous system. Her research critically evaluates the comparative efficacy of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), particularly in procedures like sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis and other autonomic conditions. Her 2024 paper, "Is RATS Superior to VATS in Thoracic Autonomic Nervous System Surgery?"—cited 2 times—provides a timely analysis of how robotic technology is reshaping thoracic surgery, offering greater precision and dexterity for delicate nerve-sparing operations. Beyond this, her contributions span malignant and benign thoracic pathology, where she has helped define best practices for integrating robotic approaches. With a growing citation footprint, Sibilia’s work is instrumental in guiding surgeons toward evidence-based adoption of RATS, balancing technological promise with clinical outcomes. Her research continues to influence the evolution of thoracic surgery, making her a key voice in the transition from traditional VATS to robotic platforms.
