About
Danilo Coco is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and evidence-based operative practice. His research spans a broad range of subspecialties, including hepatobiliary surgery, thoracic surgery, colorectal oncology, bariatric surgery, and emergency abdominal care, reflecting a career dedicated to advancing the frontiers of modern surgical technology. Coco's most influential contribution examines minimally invasive management of major bile duct injuries following cholecystectomy, accumulating 21 citations and establishing him as a voice in one of general surgery's most consequential complication areas. His systematic reviews on robotic thymectomy, robotic VATS pneumonectomy, and robotic colectomy learning curves collectively demonstrate a sustained commitment to evaluating when and how robotic platforms can safely replace conventional approaches. Notably, his 2025 meta-analysis synthesizing 38,647 patients across 27 countries on robotic versus laparoscopic gastric bypass illustrates his capacity for large-scale, globally contextualized evidence synthesis. Beyond outcomes research, Coco has engaged with surgical education, publishing on the training of novice surgeons in robotic cholecystectomy across 300 consecutive cases. His growing citation record underscores his emerging influence as minimally invasive and robotic surgery continue reshaping operative care worldwide.
