About

Damiano Caputo is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted general surgery. His research centers on advancing surgical techniques, particularly in colorectal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic procedures, with a strong emphasis on the clinical implementation of next-generation robotic platforms. Dr. Caputo’s major contributions include leading the first worldwide reports on rectal resections and full robotic cholecystectomies using the Hugo™ RAS system, where he meticulously defined docking angles and setup protocols to optimize surgical workflows. His work on the timing of conversion in laparoscopic colorectal surgery has provided critical insights into improving short-term postoperative outcomes. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 55, Dr. Caputo’s studies are widely referenced for establishing safety and efficacy benchmarks for emerging robotic technologies. Notably, his involvement in the prospective IGOMIPS registry has offered a comprehensive snapshot of minimally invasive pancreatic resections across Italy, reflecting his commitment to large-scale, data-driven surgical research. Through these achievements, Dr. Caputo is shaping the future of robotic surgery, making complex procedures more accessible and safer for patients worldwide.
