About
Carlotta La Raja is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery and immersive technology, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive colorectal procedures. Her work centers on two key areas: the integration of virtual and augmented reality into surgical training, and the refinement of single-port robotic techniques for complex abdominal surgeries. In her landmark 2024 pilot study, La Raja demonstrated how 3D visors providing an immersive view of the operating field can significantly enhance robotic surgical training, offering trainees a more intuitive and spatially aware learning environment. Her 2025 contribution further showcases her clinical innovation, detailing a robotic single-port transstomal proctectomy with IPAA construction for ulcerative colitis—a procedure that leverages a single-port platform at the stoma site to overcome traditional laparoscopic challenges. Though early in her career, with papers accumulating citations that signal growing influence, La Raja’s work is already shaping the future of surgical education and technique. Her research promises to make complex robotic procedures more accessible and safer, establishing her as a rising leader in surgical innovation.
