About
Francesco Belotti is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of robotics and minimally invasive skull base surgery. His primary research focus is the development and clinical application of robotic systems for endoscopic transnasal approaches, particularly for complex pathologies of the skull base. Dr. Belotti’s major contributions include the first prospective clinical evaluation of a novel robotic endoscope holder designed specifically for transsphenoidal surgery, as detailed in his 2021 single-centre case series (10 citations). This work demonstrated the feasibility and potential advantages of robotic assistance in enhancing surgical precision and ergonomics during delicate transnasal procedures. His comprehensive 2020 literature review (9 citations) further synthesized the emerging field, providing a critical framework for integrating robotics into endoscopic skull base surgery. Through these studies, Dr. Belotti has helped bridge the gap between preclinical robotics research and real-world clinical application, establishing a foundation for safer, more reproducible minimally invasive approaches. His work continues to shape the future of robotic-assisted neurosurgery, offering new possibilities for treating skull base lesions with reduced morbidity.
