About

Vittorio Rampinelli is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the intersection of robotics and minimally invasive skull base surgery. His work centers on developing and validating hybrid robotic platforms for endoscopic transnasal procedures, addressing the critical challenge of precision and stability in confined anatomical corridors. Rampinelli’s major contributions include the first clinical case series evaluating a novel robotic endoscope holder for transsphenoidal surgery, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in a prospective patient cohort. His preclinical work, which garnered 18 citations, provided essential surgeon-first impressions and laid the groundwork for clinical translation. Complementing these studies, his comprehensive literature review (9 citations) synthesized global evidence with his own institutional experience, establishing a framework for robotic adoption in skull base centers. More recently, Rampinelli has expanded into transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES), reporting a landmark case of supraglottic laryngectomy that achieved en bloc tumor resection with negative margins while preserving laryngeal function. With cumulative citations approaching 40 across his core publications, Rampinelli is recognized as a key voice in the evolution from traditional endoscopic techniques to robotic-assisted precision surgery, bridging engineering innovation with tangible patient outcomes in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery.
