About

C. Garrone is a pioneering surgical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and adoption of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Operating at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and emerging robotic technologies, Garrone's research has been instrumental in rigorously evaluating the clinical value of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System against established laparoscopic techniques. Their landmark prospective randomized controlled trial comparing robot-assisted and laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which has accumulated 202 citations, stands as one of the foundational studies in robotic surgical oncology. Equally influential is their randomized clinical trial assessing robot-assisted versus laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for antireflux surgery, cited 167 times, providing the comparative evidence that the field had long needed. Garrone's earlier preliminary report on robotic laparoscopic procedures, cited 38 times, helped establish the groundwork for these definitive studies by critically examining operative times, complications, and hospital stay outcomes. Together, these contributions — totaling over 400 citations — have shaped how surgeons and institutions evaluate the trade-offs between robotic and conventional laparoscopic approaches, making Garrone a respected voice in the evolution of modern minimally invasive surgery.
