About

G. Biffi Gentili is a leading researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive surgical technologies. His work centers on two key areas: the development of novel microwave ablation tools for robotic liver resection and the comprehensive evaluation of robotic surgical systems. Gentili’s major contributions include pioneering a new microwave applicator designed specifically for laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery, addressing the critical challenge of intraoperative bleeding during parenchyma transection. His research has resulted in a novel microwave tool that enhances steerability and efficacy in minimally invasive procedures, with his most-cited papers (each garnering 11 citations) demonstrating the clinical potential of this technology. Beyond device development, Gentili has made significant strides in healthcare assessment, proposing an integrated HTA-FMEA/FMECA methodology for evaluating robotic systems in urology and general surgery. He has also conducted hospital-based economic assessments of robotic surgery, providing crucial cost-benefit analyses for healthcare institutions. His work on developing a complete robotic surgical system for thermal ablation and microwave coagulation represents a notable achievement in the field, positioning him as a key innovator in the convergence of microwave energy delivery and robotic-assisted surgery.
