About
Dr. Silvia Rebuffo is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive urology and gynecologic surgery. Her primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of emerging robotic platforms, particularly the novel HUGO™ Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system versus the established Da Vinci® Xi. Dr. Rebuffo’s major contributions include providing the first comparative evidence between these platforms for radical prostatectomy (60 citations) and demonstrating the HUGO system’s efficacy in sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse. She has also advanced surgical training methodologies, authoring a key narrative review on robotic training for radical prostatectomy (11 citations). Her clinical impact extends to optimizing techniques for robot-assisted simple prostatectomy and pyeloplasty, and she has investigated critical surgical nuances like on-clamp versus off-clamp partial nephrectomy to achieve the “modified trifecta” of outcomes. With a growing body of work that includes over 100 total citations, Dr. Rebuffo is a leading voice in the transition to next-generation robotic surgery, offering vital data that guides surgeons and hospitals in adopting new technologies while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
