About
Dr. Roberta Pastorino is a leading figure in urologic robotic surgery, whose work is defining the next generation of minimally invasive procedures. Her primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of novel robotic platforms, most notably the Hugo™ RAS system versus the established da Vinci system. Dr. Pastorino’s major contributions include a series of high-impact systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which have been cited over 80 times in just two years, providing the first rigorous, pooled evidence on the surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes of the Hugo system for radical prostatectomy. Her 2024 meta-analysis comparing the two platforms has already garnered 30 citations, establishing a critical benchmark for the field. Beyond urology, she is pioneering the integration of virtual reality into lower limb rehabilitation for patients with severe acquired brain injury, demonstrating its dual motor and cognitive benefits in a crossover pilot study. Dr. Pastorino’s work is not only advancing surgical precision but also expanding the horizons of post-operative recovery, making her a transformative voice in modern surgical research.
