About

Anna Cacco is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted adrenal surgery. Her work has been instrumental in evaluating the clinical utility of emerging technologies, most notably the Da Vinci Single-Port (DV-SP) robotic system. In her landmark 2025 systematic review and pooled analysis—the first comprehensive synthesis of its kind—Cacco rigorously assessed perioperative outcomes of single-port robot-assisted adrenalectomy, drawing on data from multiple international databases. This study, which has already garnered 6 citations shortly after publication, provides critical evidence for surgeons considering the adoption of this novel platform. By systematically evaluating the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of the DV-SP system for adrenal pathology, Cacco has helped bridge the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice. Her contributions are particularly valuable for guiding surgical decision-making in complex endocrine cases. As a researcher at the forefront of surgical robotics, Cacco continues to shape the future of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, offering both trainees and established surgeons a clearer roadmap for integrating cutting-edge tools into routine care.
