About
Carla Peluso is a surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for esophageal disorders, particularly achalasia. Her major contributions lie in advancing the understanding and outcomes of robotic-assisted Heller–Dor myotomy, a procedure for treating achalasia. In her most-cited study, a single-center experience published in 2019, she and her team demonstrated the clinical and pathophysiological benefits of the robotic approach, reporting improved symptom relief and reduced complication rates. This work, with 17 citations, has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable, precise alternative to traditional laparoscopic methods in esophageal motility disorders. Peluso’s research is notable for its focus on translating technical innovation into tangible patient outcomes, bridging the gap between surgical robotics and gastroenterology. Her findings have informed best practices in achalasia management, offering a roadmap for other centers adopting robotic platforms. For students and researchers, Peluso’s work exemplifies how rigorous clinical evaluation can validate emerging technologies, making her a key voice in the evolution of robotic esophageal surgery.
