About
Dr. Paolo Millo is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the evolution of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery. His work centers on refining laparoscopic techniques for morbid obesity, with a particular focus on the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Dr. Millo’s most impactful contribution is a landmark 2010 study (94 citations) demonstrating that robot-assisted gastrojejunal anastomosis does not improve outcomes over standard laparoscopic RYGB—a critical finding that guided surgical practice toward cost-effective approaches. His earlier 2006 paper (40 citations) documented his initial experience with the Da Vinci Robotic System, establishing foundational protocols for robotic bariatric surgery. Dr. Millo also published a comprehensive analysis of 250 laparoscopic gastric bypasses (2007), evaluating multiple techniques and their results, which remains a valuable reference for surgeons managing severe obesity—a condition affecting over one million people in Italy with a 95% failure rate for nonsurgical treatments. His cumulative work, spanning over 139 citations, has helped standardize laparoscopic bariatric procedures and continues to inform surgical decision-making worldwide.
