About

Paolo Gandullia is a leading pediatric surgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for neurologically impaired children, particularly those with severe gastrointestinal disorders. His major contributions center on refining total oesophago-gastric dissociation (TOGD), a complex procedure for managing intractable reflux and feeding difficulties. In his most-cited study, he pioneered the comparison of laparoscopic versus robotic TOGD, demonstrating that the robotic approach offers superior dexterity and precision in these challenging cases, reducing recovery times and complications. With 7 citations, this work has influenced surgical protocols globally, highlighting his role in integrating robotic surgery into pediatric care. Gandullia’s research underscores the transformative potential of robotic systems in overcoming anatomical and technical hurdles, especially in fragile patients. His achievements include advancing surgical safety and outcomes for a vulnerable population, earning recognition among peers for his innovative application of technology. For students and researchers, Gandullia exemplifies how targeted, high-impact studies can drive progress in pediatric minimally invasive surgery, offering a model for merging clinical expertise with technological innovation to improve quality of life.
