About

Paolo Raimondi is a pioneer in robotic and minimally invasive pancreatic and colorectal surgery, dedicated to advancing operative standardization and safety. His research focuses on defining the learning curves and technical reproducibility of complex procedures, particularly in robotic colectomy and distal pancreatectomy. Raimondi’s most cited work, “Is right colectomy a complete learning procedure for a robotic surgical program?” (25 citations), critically evaluates the training thresholds required for safe robotic adoption, offering a roadmap for surgical programs. He also contributed the first detailed description of a robot-assisted subtotal pancreas-preserving duodenectomy for rare duodenal angiodysplasia, demonstrating the feasibility of minimally invasive approaches in technically demanding resections. More recently, his systematic mapping of surgical maneuvers for minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (2022) provides a standardized framework to reduce variability and improve outcomes. Through these contributions—ranging from rare organ-sparing resections to procedural standardization—Raimondi has shaped how surgeons approach complex abdominal procedures, emphasizing reproducibility, safety, and the integration of robotic technology into mainstream practice.
