About

Dr. Nicola Martucci is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for pulmonary resections, particularly through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions lie in refining and expanding the application of uniportal robotic thoracic surgery, a field he has helped shape with his landmark 2022 paper, "Early experience with uniportal robotic thoracic surgery lobectomy," which has garnered 14 citations. This work demonstrates the feasibility and safety of combining the precision of robotic systems with the reduced trauma of single-incision approaches, offering patients faster recovery and less postoperative pain. Dr. Martucci’s research bridges the gap between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), providing critical early evidence that uniportal robotic lobectomy is a viable, reproducible technique. His efforts are instrumental in setting new standards for thoracic oncology surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive care. Through his innovative work, Dr. Martucci is helping to define the future of thoracic surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
