About

Rocco Bernardo is a surgeon and researcher advancing the field of robotic-assisted general surgery, with a particular focus on the clinical integration and standardization of emerging surgical platforms. His most cited work, "Proposal of set-up standardization for general surgery procedures with the CMR Versius system, a new robotic platform: our initial experience" (2024, 5 citations), reflects his pioneering efforts to establish reproducible protocols for the Versius system—a next-generation, modular robotic platform designed to improve accessibility and flexibility in minimally invasive surgery. By proposing a standardized set-up for general surgery procedures, Bernardo addresses a critical gap in the adoption of new robotic technologies, helping to reduce variability, enhance surgical safety, and facilitate training for multidisciplinary teams. His contributions are particularly notable for their practical, step-by-step guidance, which supports the safe translation of robotic innovation into routine clinical practice. With his work already cited by peers seeking to replicate and refine these protocols, Bernardo is positioned as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of robotic surgery, bridging the gap between technological development and real-world surgical application.
