About
P. Castelnuovo is a pioneering figure in head and neck surgery, with a primary research focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches to the skull base. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility of combining transnasal and transcervical robotic dissection for accessing the posterior skull base, a technically challenging anatomical region. This work, detailed in his most-cited paper (2012, 24 citations), explores how robotic systems can expand surgical possibilities while reducing patient trauma. By validating this combined approach in a cadaveric model, Castelnuovo provided a critical proof-of-concept that bridges endoscopic and open surgical techniques. His research directly addresses the growing trend toward less invasive procedures, offering a pathway to safer, more precise interventions for complex skull base pathologies. With a total of 31 citations across his key publications, his work has informed subsequent clinical applications and training models. Castelnuovo’s achievements underscore his role in advancing the frontier of robotic head and neck surgery, making him a notable contributor to the evolution of surgical oncology and otolaryngology.
