About
Enza Fommei is a distinguished surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a particular focus on adrenal gland procedures. Her major contributions center on the comparative evaluation of surgical techniques, most notably through her landmark 2016 case-control study comparing robotic-assisted adrenal surgery using the da Vinci system with pure laparoscopic approaches. This work, which has garnered 65 citations, provided critical evidence clarifying the role of robotic technology in adrenalectomy, demonstrating its safety and efficacy relative to established laparoscopic methods. By analyzing outcomes from 116 patients at a single center, Fommei helped define best practices for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, directly influencing perioperative protocols and patient selection criteria. Her research addresses a key question in surgical innovation—when and how to integrate new technologies—making her a respected voice in the transition from traditional laparoscopy to robotic assistance. Fommei’s work continues to guide clinical decision-making, ensuring that advancements in surgical robotics translate into tangible benefits for patients undergoing adrenal surgery.
