About

Thomas Serradori is a pioneering figure in robotic microsurgery, with a focused research program dedicated to advancing nerve harvest techniques through minimally invasive approaches. His work centers on the intersection of robotic surgical systems and peripheral nerve reconstruction, particularly exploring the feasibility of harvesting critical nerves using the da Vinci surgical platform. In his landmark 2015 study, "Robotic intercostal nerve harvest: a feasibility study in a pig model," Serradori demonstrated the first successful robotic harvest of intercostal nerves, achieving 16 citations for this foundational work. He followed this with a 2014 study on robotic phrenic nerve harvest, which garnered 15 citations and further established the viability of robotic approaches for nerve grafting. These contributions are significant because they address a critical challenge in reconstructive surgery: the need for precise, minimally invasive nerve harvest that minimizes donor site morbidity. By proving that robotic systems can safely isolate and harvest delicate nerves in animal models, Serradori has laid the groundwork for translating these techniques to human patients, potentially transforming how surgeons approach nerve repair and reconstruction. His work represents an important step toward expanding the capabilities of robotic surgery beyond traditional applications.
