About
Maria Ludovica Costanzo is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on its application in high-stakes emergency settings. Her primary research areas encompass emergency general surgery, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and the development of standardized protocols for robotic platforms in acute care. Costanzo’s most significant contribution is her leadership in the ROEM (Robotic Surgery in Emergency Setting) study, a landmark international, multicentre, prospective investigation that aims to define the safety, feasibility, and outcomes of robotic surgery in emergency contexts. This work directly addresses a critical gap in the literature, as robotic use has traditionally been confined to elective procedures. Her protocol paper, published in 2024, has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its rapid adoption as a foundational reference. By spearheading this initiative and building upon the 2021 WSES position paper, Costanzo is actively shaping the future of acute surgical care, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in emergency medicine, and providing a rigorous evidence base for integrating advanced technology into life-saving interventions.
