About

Lorenzo Macone is a researcher at the forefront of surgical ergonomics, with a focused expertise in evaluating human–machine interaction within robotic surgery. His work critically examines how the design of different robotic systems impacts surgeon posture, fatigue, and long-term musculoskeletal health. Macone’s major contribution lies in his pioneering comparative analysis of ergonomic characteristics across multiple robotic platforms, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2025 study, “Evaluation of posture in four different robotic surgical systems.” This work, which has already garnered 5 citations, provides a foundational framework for understanding how system design can either alleviate or exacerbate the physical strain traditionally associated with open and laparoscopic procedures. By identifying key postural risks and ergonomic trade-offs, Macone’s research directly informs the development of safer, more sustainable surgical workstations. His findings are critical for surgeons, engineers, and hospital administrators seeking to optimize both operator well-being and procedural precision. Through this impactful study, Macone has established himself as a vital voice in the ongoing effort to refine robotic surgery, ensuring that technological advancement goes hand-in-hand with human-centered design.
