About

Dr. Massimiliano Sorbello is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose research bridges the frontiers of robotic surgery and airway management. His key contributions center on optimizing pain control in minimally invasive procedures and advancing robotic-assisted intubation technologies. In his influential 2024 work on loco-regional anesthesia for robotic thoracic surgery, Dr. Sorbello addresses the critical challenge of postoperative pain in patients undergoing these otherwise-beneficial procedures, demonstrating how targeted nerve blocks can enhance recovery while reducing opioid reliance. This paper has already garnered 9 citations, reflecting its immediate clinical relevance. Perhaps most notably, Dr. Sorbello leads the development of ROSINA (Robotic System for Intubation), a groundbreaking innovation first detailed in 2021 that aims to automate and improve the safety of one of anesthesiology's most high-stakes procedures. With 5 citations, this work signals a paradigm shift toward precision robotics in airway management. Dr. Sorbello's dual focus—refining pain protocols for robotic surgery while creating robotic tools for anesthesia itself—positions him at the intersection of surgical innovation and patient safety, making his research essential reading for clinicians and engineers alike.
