About
Dr. Caterina Puccioni is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on the transformative potential of robotic surgery in acute care settings. Her major contribution lies in challenging the conventional boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, specifically by investigating the feasibility and safety of robotic platforms for emergency general surgery—a domain traditionally dominated by open or laparoscopic techniques. As the lead author of the landmark protocol for the ROEM study (2024), she is spearheading the first multicentre, prospective international investigation to systematically evaluate robotic surgery’s role in emergencies, building upon the foundational recommendations of the 2021 WSES position paper. This work, already garnering 7 citations shortly after publication, is shaping a critical new frontier in surgical practice. Dr. Puccioni’s research is instrumental in defining strict patient selection criteria and operative protocols, potentially expanding the benefits of robotic precision—reduced trauma, faster recovery—to time-sensitive, life-threatening conditions. Her efforts are not only advancing surgical innovation but also providing a rigorous evidence base to guide the next generation of acute care surgeons.
