About

Giacomo Esposito is a leading figure in pediatric neurosurgery, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic technology to improve surgical outcomes for children. His key research areas center on the development and clinical implementation of robot-assisted procedures for complex cranial pathologies, particularly in the pediatric population. Esposito’s major contributions include pioneering work on robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a notoriously difficult-to-treat brainstem tumor. His single-center experience, published in 2017 and cited 70 times, demonstrated the safety and precision of this minimally invasive approach, offering a critical diagnostic pathway for a disease with limited therapeutic options. His landmark paper, "Robot-assisted procedures in pediatric neurosurgery" (2017, 173 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the field, highlighting how robotic systems enhance dexterity, stability, and haptic feedback in delicate pediatric cases. Through these influential studies, Esposito has established himself as a key innovator, showing that robotic assistance can significantly improve the quality and safety of neurosurgical interventions in children, paving the way for broader adoption of these technologies in specialized pediatric centers.
