About

Dr. Rossella Angotti is a leading pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on expanding the frontiers of robotic and minimally invasive surgery for the most vulnerable patients. Her major contributions center on demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted procedures in low-weight children and those with severe neurodisabilities. Notably, her 2019 study on robotic surgery in low-weight children (40 citations) challenged conventional limitations, showing that robotic techniques are a viable technical opportunity even in this delicate population. Dr. Angotti has also pioneered the use of robotic-assisted total esophagogastric dissociation (TOGD) for children with neurodisability and severe gastroesophageal reflux, with her 2017 pilot study (11 citations) and subsequent comparative work (2019, 7 citations) establishing robotic approaches as superior to laparoscopic ones in these complex cases. Her international collaborative studies on robotic uretero-vesical junction surgery (2023) and cost-effectiveness of vesicoureteral reflux treatments (2024) further underscore her impact. Through her leadership in multicenter Italian studies documenting the rise of pediatric robotic surgery, Dr. Angotti is shaping the future of pediatric surgical care, proving that even the smallest patients can benefit from technological innovation.
