About
Emanuele Capasso is a leading voice at the intersection of robotic surgery, patient safety, and medical law. His research primarily focuses on the ethical and legal frameworks surrounding minimally invasive robotic procedures, with a particular emphasis on the quality of informed consent and the allocation of responsibility during system malfunctions. In his highly cited 2016 work, *"Informed consent in robotic surgery: quality of information and patient perception"* (52 citations), Capasso established a critical three-part framework for ensuring patients fully understand the unique risks and benefits of robotic-assisted operations, addressing a long-standing gap in surgical communication. Complementing this, his landmark study *"Malfunctions of robotic system in surgery: role and responsibility of surgeon in legal point of view"* (51 citations) provides a pivotal analysis of liability when technology fails, distinguishing between human error and device malfunction. These contributions have made Capasso an essential reference for surgeons, hospital administrators, and legal scholars navigating the complexities of modern surgical practice, cementing his reputation as a key architect of safer, more transparent robotic surgery protocols.
