About
Bernardo Bonanni is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive oncologic surgery. His primary research focuses on robotic-assisted techniques for breast cancer treatment, particularly robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM) and immediate breast reconstruction. Bonanni’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this innovative approach, which preserves the nipple-areola complex while achieving oncologic precision and superior cosmetic outcomes. His landmark 2016 study, cited 178 times, reported the first consecutive series of 29 R-NSM procedures in breast cancer patients, establishing a reproducible surgical protocol that reduces scarring and recovery time. Earlier, his 2015 preliminary report laid the groundwork for this technique, integrating robotic mastectomy with immediate implant-based reconstruction. Bonanni’s work has been instrumental in advancing robotic breast surgery from experimental to clinical practice, offering patients a less invasive alternative without compromising cancer control. His contributions have earned him recognition as a leader in oncoplastic surgery, with his research cited widely by surgeons seeking to adopt robotic approaches. For students and researchers, Bonanni exemplifies how surgical innovation can harmonize oncologic safety with patient-centered care.
