About
Ricard Ramos is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive lung surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), with a particular emphasis on uniportal techniques—a method that reduces surgical trauma by operating through a single small incision. Ramos’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of these novel approaches. His most cited work, a 2023 multicenter European study comparing uniportal to multiport RATS for pulmonary resections, has garnered 28 citations and provides critical evidence that the uniportal approach can match or surpass traditional methods. This study has helped drive a paradigm shift in the field. He has also pushed technical boundaries, as shown in his 2022 case report on performing a uniportal robotic-assisted resection of the first rib for thoracic outlet syndrome—a procedure of extreme technical difficulty. Through his innovative work, Ramos is not only refining surgical practice but also expanding the possibilities of what can be achieved with robotic assistance, making him a key figure in the future of thoracic surgery.
