About

Dr. Luca Bottiglieri is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of breast cancer treatment through the advancement of robotic-assisted surgery. His primary research focuses on the feasibility, safety, and patient outcomes of robotic mastectomy, particularly nipple-sparing techniques. His landmark 2021 randomized trial, cited over 100 times, provided critical evidence by directly comparing robotic mastectomy to traditional open surgery, demonstrating significant benefits in surgical and quality-of-life outcomes for women with breast cancer or BRCA mutations. This study, alongside his earlier foundational work—including a 2015 preliminary report on robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and a comprehensive 2019 update on the field's progress (88 citations)—has been instrumental in validating and popularizing these minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Bottiglieri’s contributions have not only advanced surgical precision and aesthetic outcomes but have also paved the way for broader adoption of robotic techniques in oncologic breast surgery, marking him as a key innovator in the modern surgical management of breast cancer.
