About
Francesco Toti is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping minimally invasive abdominal surgery. His research spans robotic colorectal, hepatobiliary, and hernia procedures, with a particular focus on complex oncologic resections and transplant surgery. Toti’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic abdominal wall reconstruction in a landmark study of 150 cases (10 citations), and systematically evaluating robotic vascular resection for pancreatic cancer (8 citations), a procedure traditionally considered too challenging for minimally invasive approaches. He has also advanced the field through technical innovations like the bottom-up suprapubic approach for right colectomy (7 citations) and comprehensive reviews of robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (8 citations). Notably, Toti leads efforts in surgical data science, having created the Comprehensive Robotic Cholecystectomy Dataset (6 citations), which integrates kinematics, pedal signals, and endoscopic videos to train machine learning models for surgery. With a growing body of work that bridges clinical outcomes and data-driven innovation, Toti is establishing himself as a key figure in the next generation of robotic surgery research.
