About
Dr. Pasquale Ferraro is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for lung cancer surgery, particularly through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). His major contributions include pioneering the use of ultrasonic energy for pulmonary artery branch sealing in VATS lobectomy, as demonstrated in a prospective, multicenter, international phase 2 trial (2019, 23 citations)—a study that has helped establish safer, more efficient vessel sealing methods. More recently, Dr. Ferraro has been at the forefront of robotic thoracic surgery, developing and validating the "Outside the Cage Subcostal RATS Lobectomy," a novel single-incision approach that reduces chest wall trauma while maintaining oncologic efficacy (2023, 11 citations). His work is driven by the objective to minimize surgical trauma and improve postoperative outcomes for lung cancer patients. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for innovation, Dr. Ferraro is shaping the future of thoracic surgery by making complex procedures less invasive and more accessible.
