About
Dr. Ivan Botrugno is a pioneering paediatric surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology in children. His primary research focuses on the application of advanced robotic-assisted techniques for complex paediatric abdominal tumours, particularly rare pancreatic neoplasms. Dr. Botrugno’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2023 study on robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy for solid pseudopapillary tumours (SPTs)—a rare, low-grade malignancy typically found in young women. His work demonstrates that robotic surgery can achieve the same oncological radicality as open procedures while offering superior recovery outcomes for paediatric patients. Although a relatively new contribution, this paper has already garnered 3 citations, signalling its growing influence in the field. By successfully applying adult robotic surgical principles to the paediatric population, Dr. Botrugno is helping to establish a new standard of care for rare childhood cancers, offering young patients a less invasive path to cure.
