Marcello Donati

About

Marcello Donati is a pioneer in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on navigated liver surgery and the early integration of robotic assistance in laparoscopy. His foundational work, including the highly cited "Navigierte Leberchirurgie" (2018), has helped shape modern approaches to precision hepatectomy, improving intraoperative orientation and patient safety. Donati was also among the first to assess the clinical utility of robotic systems like the AESOP 2000, demonstrating in his 2002 study the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These early contributions laid critical groundwork for the widespread adoption of robotic surgery today. With over a decade of influence, his research continues to inform surgical training and technology development. Donati’s work bridges the gap between traditional open surgery and cutting-edge digital navigation, marking him as a key figure in the evolution of computer-assisted surgery.
