About

Roberto Corzani is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research centers on the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly the comparison and optimization of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). His major contributions include leading a landmark monocentric prospective randomized trial comparing RATS versus VATS lobectomy, which has garnered 35 citations and provides critical evidence on the efficacy and outcomes of these approaches for early-stage lung cancer. Corzani has also conducted influential retrospective case-match studies on robotic versus open thymectomy (16 citations) and authored comprehensive reviews on the learning curves for VATS and RATS lobectomies (8 citations), offering valuable guidance for surgical training. His innovative work extends to pioneering combined procedures, such as the first reported case of totally robotic simultaneous lung and cardiac surgery, and novel techniques like robot-assisted thymectomy with transaxillary thyroidectomy. With a focused portfolio of highly cited papers, Corzani’s research is shaping the future of thoracic surgery by systematically evaluating and refining robotic approaches, ultimately improving patient outcomes and expanding the frontiers of minimally invasive care.
