About

Daniele Del Monte is a pioneering figure in robotic surgery, with his work centered on the clinical application and evaluation of robotic-assisted techniques, particularly in endocrine and general surgery. His most influential contribution is the early adoption and detailed reporting of the da Vinci Robotic System for adrenal surgery. His landmark 2004 paper, "The da Vinci Robot in Right Adrenalectomy," which has garnered 48 citations, documents one of the first robotic right adrenalectomies performed at Camposampiero Hospital. This work, part of a broader series of 139 robotic operations from 2001 to 2002, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of the platform for complex procedures, helping to establish the foundational evidence for robotic adrenalectomy. Del Monte’s research provided critical early data on operative outcomes and technical nuances, directly influencing the subsequent widespread adoption of robotic surgery in urology and general surgery. His contributions are notable for being among the earliest clinical validations of the da Vinci system, making him a key figure in the transition from traditional laparoscopy to robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
