About

Ilaria Manghi is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) in minimally invasive surgery. Her primary research areas include the integration of AR into robotic surgery, intraoperative imaging, and pediatric surgical innovation. Manghi’s most significant contribution is the first-in-human demonstration of real-time AI-assisted instrument deocclusion during augmented reality robotic surgery, a breakthrough that solves a critical barrier to AR adoption—handling occlusions that obscure 3D model overlays. This work, published in 2023 and garnering 26 citations, showcases her ability to translate complex computational methods into practical surgical tools. She has also advanced the use of intraoperative ultrasound in laparoscopic and robotic pediatric surgery, providing safer, more precise guidance for young patients. Her research has been cited over 38 times in just two years, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. Manghi’s achievements position her as a leader in next-generation surgical technology, where her work promises to make AR-assisted procedures safer, more intuitive, and widely accessible.
