About

Professor Rocco Bellantone is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive endocrine surgery, with a primary focus on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for adrenal and uterine malignancies. His major contributions center on the clinical validation and cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic-assisted adrenalectomy, particularly through the first world report of the Hugo™ RAS platform for lateral transabdominal adrenalectomy (67 citations). He has systematically compared transabdominal laparoscopic, posterior retroperitoneoscopic, and robotic approaches for synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy in Cushing’s syndrome (58 citations), establishing evidence-based guidelines for this challenging procedure. Bellantone’s work critically evaluates the economic sustainability of robotic surgery, demonstrating through propensity score matching that while robotic adrenalectomy offers advantages in complex cases, its higher costs require careful patient selection (32 citations). His research extends to comparative value analysis of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery for malignant uterine cancer, addressing healthcare resource allocation. With over 195 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Bellantone has shaped modern surgical practice by balancing technological innovation with rigorous outcomes assessment, making him a leading authority in the evolution of minimally invasive adrenal surgery.
