About

Alba Madoglio is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and neurosurgery, with a focused expertise in hybrid robotic systems for endoscopic transnasal skull base surgery. Her major contributions include the first preclinical evaluation and clinical case series of a novel robotic endoscope holder designed for transsphenoidal procedures—work that directly addresses the gap between preclinical studies and real-world surgical application. Her 2019 paper, "Hybrid Robotics for Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery," has garnered 18 citations, while her subsequent 2021 case series (10 citations) and comprehensive literature review (9 citations) have established her as a key voice in the field. Madoglio’s 2022 review, "Robotics in Neuroendoscopy," further synthesizes the state of the art, highlighting her role in advancing surgical precision and safety. Her research not only demonstrates the feasibility of robotic assistance in delicate skull base operations but also provides critical surgeon-first impressions that guide future device design. With a growing citation impact, Madoglio’s work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring the future of minimally invasive neurosurgery.
