About

Andrea Mingoli is a leading figure in the evolution of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on expanding its applications from elective to emergency settings. Her research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, notably the use of advanced robotic platforms like the CyberKnife for complex procedures. A key contribution is her pioneering work on non-invasive treatments for pancreatic conditions; her 2011 study on Image-Guided Robotic Radiosurgery for pancreatic insulinoma demonstrated a viable alternative to high-risk laparoscopic surgery, which carries complication rates up to 37%. This work has garnered 10 citations, highlighting its clinical significance. More recently, Mingoli has spearheaded the ROEM study (2024, 7 citations), a groundbreaking international protocol investigating the role of robotic surgery in emergency general surgery—a domain where its use remains largely uncharted. By addressing the gap highlighted in the 2021 WSES position paper, she is actively shaping guidelines for safer, more precise emergency interventions. Her work is instrumental in pushing the boundaries of robotic surgery, making her a key voice in the future of acute care and complex surgical oncology.
