About
Dr. Giacomo Concone is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery. His primary research focuses on refining minimally invasive techniques for living-donor nephrectomy, where he has been instrumental in transitioning the procedure from hand-assisted to totally robotic approaches. Through a series of landmark studies—including his most cited work, "Robotic nephrectomy for living donation" (71 citations)—Dr. Concone has demonstrated the feasibility and safety of using robotic platforms to harvest kidneys for transplantation, significantly reducing donor morbidity while maintaining excellent graft outcomes. His systematic review of the literature has become a cornerstone reference for transplant centers worldwide. Beyond renal surgery, Dr. Concone has also explored the application of robotics in complex hepatic resections for cirrhotic patients, as evidenced by his work on totally robotic liver resection (7 citations). Notably, his investigation into "the meaning of surgeon's comfort in robotic surgery" (9 citations) highlights his commitment to understanding the human factors that influence operative performance. With cumulative citations exceeding 130, Dr. Concone’s contributions continue to shape the evolution of robotic surgery, offering safer, more precise options for both donors and recipients in transplantation.
