About

Stefano Centanni is a pioneering researcher in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery, with a focus on skill acquisition, platform transference, and the clinical implementation of next-generation robotic systems. His work is central to understanding how surgeons and trainees adapt to emerging platforms like Hugo RAS and Versius, particularly as the expiration of the Da Vinci patent opens the market to new competitors. Centanni’s most-cited study (17 citations) demonstrates that prior experience with robotic consoles can significantly improve basic skills on the Hugo RAS simulator, offering critical insights for training protocols and skill transference across platforms. He also investigates the educational impact of hands-on practice with these new systems, showing that simulation training enhances the attractiveness of robotic surgery among medical and nursing students. In a landmark clinical study (7 citations), Centanni reports the first series of radical prostatectomies performed using both Hugo RAS and Versius systems at a single center by one surgeon, providing early evidence of safety and feasibility. His work is shaping the future of surgical education and the safe adoption of multi-platform robotic surgery.
