About
Nicola Montemurro is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery, biomedical engineering, and digital health. His work centers on the transformative role of extended reality—particularly virtual and augmented reality—in reshaping neurosurgical practice beyond traditional surgical planning. In his highly cited 2022 review (192 citations), Montemurro systematically explored the broader applications of VR and AR in neurosurgery, from education and simulation to intraoperative guidance and patient rehabilitation, establishing a foundational framework for the field. He has also advanced the integration of robotics and bioprinting for tissue regeneration, as demonstrated in his 2023 study analyzing robotic-based in situ bioprinting workflows for damaged tissues, including a simulated neurosurgical case. Montemurro’s global perspective is evident in his collaborative work on postgraduate education, examining how technology-driven tools like simulation, navigation, and robotics are transforming surgical training across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the United States. With a growing portfolio of impactful publications, Montemurro is recognized as a leading voice in the digital transformation of neurosurgery, bridging cutting-edge technology and clinical innovation to improve patient outcomes and surgical education worldwide.
