About

Federico Pinto is a leading researcher in robotic surgery, with a focus on the clinical applications and learning curves of the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robotic system. His work spans general surgery, hepatobiliary procedures, and transplant surgery, where he has systematically evaluated the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive robotic techniques. Pinto’s most cited paper, a scoping review on the da Vinci SP system (77 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of its current and future role in general surgery. He has also contributed landmark systematic reviews on robotic vascular resection in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and robotic techniques in transplantation. His research is particularly notable for defining learning curves for complex procedures, including single-port inguinal hernia repair and cholecystectomy, offering critical benchmarks for surgical training. Additionally, his evaluation of robotic liver surgery using the IWATE criteria demonstrates his commitment to standardizing outcome assessment. With publications in high-impact surgical journals and a growing citation record, Pinto is shaping the evidence base for next-generation robotic surgery, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers advancing minimally invasive care.
