About

Marina Talamonti is a distinguished surgical oncologist and educator whose work spans two transformative domains: minimally invasive pancreatic surgery and robotic surgical training. Her research has fundamentally shaped how complex pancreatic procedures are performed and taught worldwide. Talamonti's most influential contribution is her leadership in developing the Miami International Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection, which has accumulated 478 citations since its 2019 publication, establishing the first rigorous, internationally validated framework for these technically demanding procedures. Her landmark multicenter comparison of robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (284 citations) provided critical evidence demonstrating the viability of robotic approaches at scale, helping to legitimize their broader adoption across major surgical centers. Beyond her clinical research, Talamonti has emerged as a pioneering voice in surgical education, developing structured robotic surgery curricula for general surgery residents. Her work demonstrates that residents achieve superior technical performance, lower stress, and greater procedural preference with robotic platforms compared to traditional laparoscopic techniques. Through simulation-based training models, video review assessment tools, and dedicated two-week robotic rotations, she has helped establish a reproducible educational infrastructure for the next generation of surgeons navigating an increasingly robotics-driven landscape.
