About
Priscilla Francesca Procopio is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with particular focus on adrenal and bariatric procedures. Her research systematically evaluates the clinical and economic trade-offs of robotic platforms against established laparoscopic techniques, providing the surgical community with rigorous, evidence-based guidance on when and how to adopt emerging technologies. Among her most influential contributions is a propensity score-matched analysis comparing robot-assisted and laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which has garnered 29 citations and helped clarify the specific scenarios where robotic approaches offer meaningful advantages. Her work on super-obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, cited 25 times, has been equally impactful, demonstrating how robotic platforms can overcome the unique technical challenges posed by high-BMI cases while managing cost concerns. Procopio has also pioneered early clinical experience with next-generation robotic platforms, including the Hugo™ RAS system, contributing comparative analyses against the established DaVinci® system. This forward-looking research positions her as an important voice in the multi-platform era of robotic surgery. With a growing citation record across multiple specialties, her work is shaping how surgeons worldwide approach technology adoption in the operating room.
