About

Dr. Andrea Molle is a leading researcher in the field of surgical ergonomics and robotic-assisted laparoscopy, with a particular focus on the ocular health of surgeons. Her most-cited work, "3D Da Vinci robotic surgery: is it a risk to the surgeon’s eye health?" (2023, 9 citations), investigates the discomfort and potential binocular vision changes associated with prolonged use of the Da Vinci three-dimensional system—a technology now essential in abdominal, urological, and gynecological procedures. By systematically evaluating visual strain and ergonomic risks, Dr. Molle has provided critical insights into the hidden occupational hazards of advanced surgical platforms. Her research bridges the gap between technological innovation and surgeon well-being, highlighting the need for improved interface design and safety protocols. This work has garnered attention from both clinical practitioners and medical device developers, positioning Dr. Molle as a key voice in human factors engineering within surgery. Her contributions underscore a vital, often overlooked dimension of robotic surgery: protecting the very specialists who wield these cutting-edge tools.
