About
Dr. Fulvia Del Conte is a pioneering pediatric surgeon and urologist whose work is redefining minimally invasive surgery for children. Her research centers on three key areas: the application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, the advancement of robotic-assisted surgery, and the development of novel, scar-reducing techniques. Dr. Del Conte’s major contribution is her leadership in integrating ICG-guided near-infrared fluorescence into pediatric laparoscopy and robotics, a technique that enhances real-time visualization of anatomy and pathology. Her seminal 2020 paper on this topic has garnered 85 citations, establishing a new standard in the field. She has also been instrumental in demonstrating the superiority of robotic-assisted pyeloplasty for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction, with her systematic review (60 citations) helping to cement it as the new gold standard. Beyond these, Dr. Del Conte has pioneered innovative approaches like the "scarless laparoscopic incisions in Pfannenstiel" (SLIP) technique and video-based coaching for surgical training. With over 350 total citations, her work is not only advancing surgical precision and outcomes but also shaping the future of pediatric surgical education.
