About
Dr. Carlotta Barbon is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic-assisted microsurgery, with a focused expertise in lymphatic reconstruction and supermicrosurgery. Her major contributions center on the clinical translation and validation of the Symani Surgical System®, a dedicated microsurgical robot. In landmark first-in-human studies (2022–2023), Dr. Barbon demonstrated the feasibility and safety of performing lympho-venous and arterial anastomoses robotically, achieving over 100 successful anastomoses in a two-year single-center experience. Her work has proven that robotic systems offer critical advantages in deep anatomical planes, providing motion scaling and enhanced accessibility that push the boundaries of reconstructive surgery. With her most-cited paper garnering 100 citations and a cumulative impact exceeding 350 citations, Dr. Barbon’s research has established the learning curve and clinical benefits of this technology. She has also pioneered the first robotic central lymphatic reconstruction, addressing previously inaccessible pathologies. Her achievements have positioned her as a leading authority in the emerging field of robotic microsurgery, fundamentally reshaping how complex lymphatic and microvascular procedures are performed.
