About
Antoni Mestre‐Fusco is a biomedical engineer and researcher specializing in the development and evaluation of novel surgical instrumentation, with a particular focus on radioguided surgery (RGS) for prostate cancer. His key research areas include laparoscopic gamma probe design, phantom and porcine model validation, and the technical feasibility of emerging surgical technologies. Mestre‐Fusco’s major contribution lies in advancing the usability of tethered laparoscopic gamma probes for sentinel node biopsy (SNB) and 99mTc-PSMA-guided surgery of nodal metastases, addressing the critical limitation of manoeuvrability in rigid probes used in robot-assisted procedures. His most-cited work, a 2019 study employing a pelvic phantom and porcine model, has garnered 2 citations and serves as a foundational proof-of-concept for improving intraoperative detection accuracy. This work underscores his commitment to bridging the gap between engineering design and clinical application, directly impacting the precision of minimally invasive cancer surgery. Mestre‐Fusco’s research is instrumental for students and researchers interested in surgical robotics, nuclear medicine, and translational biomedical engineering, offering a clear pathway from benchtop testing to potential clinical adoption.
