About

Maurizia Pozzobon is a pioneering figure in robotic surgery, with her work centered on the clinical application of the da Vinci Robotic System. Her key research areas include minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in adrenal and general surgery. Her major contribution is the early adoption and documentation of robotic-assisted procedures, as evidenced by her landmark 2004 paper, "The da Vinci Robot in Right Adrenalectomy," which has garnered 48 citations. This work detailed one of the first robotic right adrenalectomies performed at Camposampiero Hospital, where from May 2001 to October 2002, the team completed 139 robotic operations. Pozzobon’s research demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic systems in complex surgeries, helping to establish a foundation for modern robotic surgery. Her achievements include being among the first surgeons to integrate the da Vinci system into routine clinical practice, significantly impacting the field by providing early evidence that paved the way for widespread adoption. Her work remains a touchstone for researchers and students exploring the evolution of robotic-assisted surgery.
