About
Simona Presutti is a leading robotic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive urologic oncology. Her primary research focuses on the clinical validation and comparative effectiveness of next-generation robotic surgical platforms, particularly for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Presutti’s major contributions include pioneering the first large-scale clinical series of RARP using the novel Hugo™ RAS system, demonstrating its safety and efficacy in over 130 patients—a landmark study that has garnered 23 citations. She has also conducted rigorous propensity score-matched comparisons between Hugo™ and the established daVinci™ system, providing critical evidence on functional and oncological outcomes at one-year follow-up. Beyond clinical trials, Presutti has advanced the field through comprehensive economic assessments of emerging robotic technologies and preclinical evaluations of systems like the Toumai MT-1000. Her work directly addresses the pressing need for data-driven decisions in surgical robotics adoption. With her studies accumulating over 35 citations in just two years, Presutti is establishing herself as a key voice in the transition toward more accessible, cost-effective robotic surgery, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes while reducing healthcare burdens.
