About
Davide Mattavelli is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of hybrid robotics for endoscopic skull base surgery. His work centers on developing and clinically validating robotic endoscope holders that enhance precision and ergonomics in transnasal and transsphenoidal procedures—a notoriously confined surgical corridor requiring extreme dexterity. Mattavelli’s major contributions include the first preclinical evaluation of a novel hybrid robotic system, which demonstrated improved stability and surgeon comfort during skull base approaches. His subsequent single-centre case series (2021) provided early clinical evidence of the robot’s feasibility in real patients, marking a critical step from bench to bedside. With his most-cited paper accumulating 18 citations and his case series reaching 10, Mattavelli’s research is shaping the emerging field of robotic-assisted skull base surgery. His comprehensive literature review (2020) further synthesized global experience, positioning him as a key voice in this niche. For students and researchers, Mattavelli’s work exemplifies how careful preclinical testing and iterative clinical translation can push the boundaries of minimally invasive neurosurgery.
