Mugurel Liviu Bosinceanu

About

Mugurel Liviu Bosinceanu is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (U-RATS). His body of work, which has accumulated over 248 citations across his most influential publications, centers on developing, refining, and validating a transformative single-incision robotic approach to complex pulmonary resections — an innovation that represents a significant leap beyond both traditional open surgery and conventional multiport techniques. Bosinceanu's most cited work, "Uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for lung resections" (2022, 67 citations), introduced U-RATS as a coherent surgical paradigm, while subsequent publications meticulously documented technical nuances, tips, and early clinical outcomes. Notably, he has extended this approach to exceptionally demanding procedures, including sleeve resections, carinal reconstructions, and bilateral lobectomies, demonstrating both technical versatility and clinical courage. His multicenter European comparison study further solidified U-RATS as a credible alternative to multiport robotics on an international stage. Through propensity-matched analyses and multi-institutional collaborations, Bosinceanu has provided rigorous evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of his approach, positioning him as a leading voice in the global evolution of robotic thoracic surgery toward greater minimalism and precision.
