About

Dr. Maria Beatrice Damasio is a pioneering pediatric urologist and robotic surgeon whose research is reshaping minimally invasive care for children. Her primary focus lies in the feasibility, safety, and learning curve of robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric populations—a field where anatomical constraints and technical demands present unique challenges. Dr. Damasio’s landmark multicenter study on robotic surgery in pediatric patients (2025, 3 citations) provides critical evidence on clinical outcomes and organizational implications, establishing benchmarks for broader adoption. She has also advanced the field of distal ureter surgery, detailing indications and technical advantages for minimally invasive approaches. Her most notable contribution is a comprehensive analysis of the first 100 robotic ureteral reimplantations in children (2025, 1 citation), which systematically evaluates learning curve effects and perioperative outcomes—offering invaluable guidance for surgeons transitioning to robotic techniques. Though early in her citation impact, Dr. Damasio’s work is foundational for standardizing pediatric robotic protocols, reducing complications, and expanding access to precision surgery for young patients. Her research bridges the gap between adult robotic advancements and pediatric-specific needs, marking her as a rising leader in pediatric urology innovation.
