About

Dino Casazza is a thoracic surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex chest pathologies. His key research areas include robotic thoracic surgery, the management of diaphragmatic hernias, and the excision of mediastinal masses. Casazza’s major contributions center on developing and refining hybrid robotic approaches that combine robotic assistance with traditional methods to improve patient outcomes. Notably, his 2018 paper on Morgagni hernia repair in obese adults (6 citations) demonstrates a novel application of hybrid robotic thoracic surgery for a rare congenital defect, offering a safer alternative for high-risk patients. He also pioneered a technique for excising large mediastinal masses (4 citations) and, in his 2023 work, combined robotic surgery with intraoperative endoscopy for circumferential esophageal leiomyoma enucleation (2 citations), overcoming the limitations of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Casazza’s work, primarily conducted at the Unit of Thoracic Surgery of Monaldi Hospital in Naples, showcases his commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotic surgery, making complex procedures more accessible and less invasive for patients.
