About

Paola Aceto is a leading researcher at the intersection of anesthesiology and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing perioperative care for urologic and gynecologic procedures. Her work has fundamentally shaped how clinicians manage the unique physiological challenges of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly the effects of steep Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum. She has made landmark contributions by investigating intraocular pressure risks during robotic prostatectomy—a paper cited 28 times—and by co-authoring the first joint consensus on anesthesia for robotic urogynecologic surgery (43 citations), a critical guideline for the field. Aceto is also at the forefront of evaluating novel surgical platforms, with her description of the Hugo™ RAS system (68 citations) and a large series of 132 robot-assisted prostatectomies (23 citations) establishing benchmarks for this emerging technology. Her impact extends to vulnerable populations, as seen in her work on frailty indices for elderly endometrial cancer patients (10 citations) and tailored anesthetic strategies for older adults. With over 200 citations across her most-cited works, Aceto’s research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve safety and outcomes in the rapidly evolving landscape of robotic surgery.
