About
Dr. Piergiorgio Solli is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive robotic surgery for lung and thymic tumors. His research centers on refining robotic techniques for anatomic pulmonary resections—including lobectomies and segmentectomies—and on establishing the safety and efficacy of robotic thymectomy for thymic neoplasms, particularly in patients with myasthenia gravis. Dr. Solli’s major contributions include the landmark 2014 paper on using indocyanine green to identify intersegmental planes during robotic segmentectomy (55 citations), a technique that has become a standard for precision lung-sparing surgery. He has also led large-scale, multicenter national studies—such as the 2024 comparison of robotic versus open thymectomy in myasthenic patients (7 citations)—providing robust evidence that robotic approaches offer excellent surgical, neurological, and oncological outcomes. Through his detailed “how-to” guides for four-arm robotic lobectomies (each with 7–9 citations), Dr. Solli has systematically standardized complex procedures, enabling broader adoption and training. His work, cited over 100 times, has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic thoracic surgery can match or surpass traditional open and video-assisted techniques in safety and effectiveness, solidifying his reputation as a leader in the field.
