About
Egle Perissinotto is a leading figure in thoracic surgery, whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of myasthenia gravis and thymoma. Her research focuses on the refinement and validation of minimally invasive robotic techniques as alternatives to traditional open chest surgery. Perissinotto’s major contribution lies in providing robust clinical evidence that robotic thymectomy is both safe and effective. Her landmark study on 100 consecutive patients with myasthenia gravis, cited over 100 times, demonstrated excellent surgical and neurologic outcomes, establishing a new standard of care. She further solidified this approach with a high-impact propensity score-matching study comparing robotic to trans-sternal thymectomy for early-stage thymoma. This work, cited 56 times, provided crucial data on long-term oncological results, showing that the minimally invasive approach does not compromise cancer outcomes while offering significant benefits in recovery. Through these rigorous comparative analyses, Perissinotto has been instrumental in shifting the surgical paradigm toward less invasive, patient-centered care, making her a highly influential voice in the field.
