About

Giacomo Marchioro is a biomedical engineer specializing in surgical instrumentation and thermal management in minimally invasive procedures. His research focuses on developing cost-effective thermal imaging systems and characterizing heat propagation during electrosurgery. Marchioro’s major contributions include the design and implementation of a thermal endoscope based on low-cost LWIR camera cores, such as the Lepton sensor, integrated into a miniaturized custom PCB that fits within a 15mm cylindrical casing. This innovation enables real-time thermal visualization during laparoscopic surgery, offering a practical alternative to expensive infrared systems. His work on measuring thermal spread during bipolar cauterizing, particularly in nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), provides critical data on spatial-temporal temperature distribution in tissue, helping surgeons avoid thermal damage to neurovascular bundles. With 12 citations across his most-cited papers, Marchioro’s research directly addresses the need for safer, more accessible surgical tools. His notable achievements include the integration of 3D-printable enclosures and the use of experimental pneumoperitoneum models to simulate realistic surgical conditions, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application.
