About
Maria Giovanna Mastromarino is a thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung cancer treatment, with a particular focus on lymphadenectomy and surgical education. Her research addresses the critical debate surrounding the safety and quality of minimally invasive lymphadenectomy, examining key metrics such as lymph node yield, mediastinal station exploration, and nodal migration rates. In her 2021 narrative review, she traced the evolution of lymphadenectomy from open to minimally invasive approaches, providing essential context for this ongoing surgical discussion. More recently, Mastromarino has turned her attention to surgical training, exploring the use of 3D models to teach minimally invasive thoracic surgery. Her 2025 work on this topic underscores the need for advanced motor skills and deep anatomical understanding in modern thoracic surgery, proposing innovative educational solutions for the next generation of surgeons. While her citation counts are still growing, her contributions are timely and directly relevant to improving both surgical outcomes and training methodologies in thoracic oncology.
