About
Emanuela Marcelli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, augmented reality (AR), and medical imaging, with a primary focus on urological oncology. Her most impactful work centers on developing AR-guided systems for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy, where she has demonstrated how real-time three-dimensional digital reconstructions can dramatically improve surgical precision. Her landmark 2020 paper on AR-guided robotic prostatectomy (74 citations) and subsequent work on intraoperative frozen section guidance (61 citations) have established new standards for surgical planning and tumor dissection. Beyond urology, Marcelli has made significant contributions to interventional cardiology through the development of CathROB, a compact telerobotic system for remote catheter navigation (48 citations), offering a versatile alternative to bulky commercial systems. Her research consistently emphasizes practical clinical translation, as evidenced by her predictive nomograms for surgical outcomes and comparative effectiveness studies. With over 400 cumulative citations, Marcelli’s work is distinguished by its integration of cutting-edge visualization technologies with minimally invasive surgical techniques, directly improving patient outcomes and surgical decision-making.
