About

Maria Valeria Matteo is pioneering the convergence of robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced endoscopy to transform minimally invasive gastrointestinal procedures. Her research focuses on developing and validating robotic platforms for bariatric and therapeutic endoscopy, with a particular emphasis on endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for obesity treatment. Her landmark work, "Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Updated Review of the Literature and State of the Art" (2021, 16 citations), provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how AI and robotic systems are expanding the horizons of traditional endoscopic techniques. Dr. Matteo led the first prospective multicenter study on automatic endoscopic gastroplasty for obesity (2024, 11 citations), demonstrating the clinical feasibility and safety of this novel robotic approach. She also introduced the concept of robotic endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (2022, 5 citations), a procedure that combines the precision of robotic manipulation with the minimally invasive benefits of endoscopy. Her work is instrumental in establishing the evidence base for robotic bariatric endoscopy, positioning her as a leading voice in the next generation of gastrointestinal interventions.
