About

Raffaella Griffo is an emerging surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and its applications across a range of complex thoracic conditions. Her work addresses a critical and evolving question in modern surgery: whether robotic approaches can match or surpass traditional open techniques in safety, precision, and patient outcomes. Griffo's most cited study, a retrospective cohort analysis comparing robot-assisted and open resection of large thymomas (2025, 4 citations), contributes meaningful evidence to an area where high-quality comparative data remain scarce. Complementing this, her research on robotic resection of thoracic neurogenic tumors (2024, 2 citations) and pulmonary sequestration (2025, 1 citation) demonstrates a systematic effort to expand the evidence base for RATS across diverse and technically demanding pathologies. Though early in her citation trajectory, Griffo's focused and clinically relevant output positions her as a promising voice in thoracic surgery innovation. Her research is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapidly shifting landscape of minimally invasive chest surgery.
