About

Dr. Roberto Cardone is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery for children, with a particular focus on pediatric urology and gynecology. His research centers on the safe and effective integration of cutting-edge technologies, most notably robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), into pediatric surgical training and clinical practice. Dr. Cardone’s major contributions include pioneering the application of RAS for complex gynecological indications in children and adolescents, as demonstrated by his landmark 2024 European multicenter report (11 citations), which provides crucial safety and efficacy data for this emerging field. He is also a driving force in surgical education, having developed and validated video-based coaching as an efficient learning modality for pediatric surgery and urology training programs (10 citations). His most cited work, a 2021 review on robotics and future technical developments in pediatric urology (39 citations), serves as a foundational reference for the field. Through these efforts, Dr. Cardone is not only expanding the boundaries of what is surgically possible for young patients but also shaping the next generation of pediatric surgeons.
