About

Vincenzo Ambrogi is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research bridges the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery, robotics, and patient-centered care. His work centers on refining surgical techniques for thymectomy in myasthenia gravis and pulmonary lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while also advancing perioperative pain management and ergonomic outcomes. Ambrogi’s landmark study on video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (11 citations) critically evaluated the therapeutic effects of the procedure, highlighting the need for standardized approaches. He further broke new ground by developing a robotized hospital bed for COVID-19 intensive care patients (5 citations), a tangible innovation addressing critical clinical needs during the pandemic. In a pilot multimodal study on locoregional anaesthesia after robotic lobectomy (3 citations), he demonstrated how integrated pain protocols can enhance recovery. Most recently, his ergonomic comparison of robotic versus thoracoscopic thymectomy (2 citations) provided the first quantitative evidence that robotic systems offer superior maneuverability and reduced surgeon strain. With a career defined by translating engineering solutions into surgical practice, Ambrogi’s work—though still accumulating citations—is shaping the future of patient-specific, ergonomically optimized thoracic surgery.
