About
Girolamo Mattioli is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose career has been defined by the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques in children. Working at the intersection of surgical innovation and pediatric care, Mattioli has made landmark contributions to the adoption of Da Vinci robotic surgery in pediatric hospital settings, demonstrating its feasibility and safety even in low-weight patients — a population long considered at the limits of such technology. His work on the robotic Soave pull-through procedure for Hirschsprung's disease, drawn from 11 consecutive cases, has helped establish reproducible protocols for one of pediatric surgery's most technically demanding operations. Mattioli has also addressed the human cost of surgical innovation, authoring a widely cited multicenter survey (77 citations) on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among pediatric laparoscopic surgeons. His systematic review of learning curves and fellowship training programs in pediatric robotic surgery reflects a broader commitment to surgical education and standardization. With contributions spanning anesthesia considerations, proctocolectomy, and esophagogastric procedures, Mattioli's cumulative body of work — totaling over 300 citations — has meaningfully shaped the global trajectory of pediatric robotic surgery.
