About

Dr. Eleonora Poretti is a pioneering researcher in the field of surgical ergonomics and robotic-assisted medicine, with a particular focus on the ocular health of surgeons utilizing advanced 3D visualization systems. Her most cited work, "3D Da Vinci robotic surgery: is it a risk to the surgeon’s eye health?" (2023, 9 citations), represents a critical contribution to understanding the physiological demands of modern minimally invasive surgery. This landmark study systematically evaluates binocular visual discomfort and potential ocular changes associated with prolonged use of the Da Vinci three-dimensional system, which has become fundamental in abdominal, urological, and gynecological laparoscopic procedures. Dr. Poretti's research addresses a previously underexplored dimension of surgical safety—the long-term well-being of the surgeon operating within immersive 3D environments. By quantifying visual strain and identifying risk factors for eye health, her work provides evidence-based guidelines for optimizing surgical ergonomics and preventing occupational hazards. This investigation bridges the gap between technological advancement and practitioner welfare, establishing Dr. Poretti as a leading voice in surgical human factors research. Her findings have immediate implications for training protocols, equipment design, and workplace health standards in robotic surgery suites worldwide.
