About

Annibale D’Annibale is a pioneering figure in robotic surgery, with a career focused on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly in adrenal and general surgery. His landmark 2004 paper, “The da Vinci Robot in Right Adrenalectomy,” documented one of the earliest applications of the da Vinci Robotic System for adrenal mass removal, performed at Camposampiero Hospital. This work, with 48 citations, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted adrenalectomy, helping to establish a foundation for modern robotic endocrine surgery. D’Annibale’s contributions were part of a broader series of 139 robotic operations conducted between 2001 and 2002, showcasing his role in the early adoption and clinical validation of robotic platforms. His research has been instrumental in shaping the transition from traditional laparoscopy to robot-assisted approaches, reducing patient recovery times and improving surgical precision. With a citation impact that underscores his influence, D’Annibale remains a key reference for surgeons exploring robotic techniques in adrenal and general surgery, and his work continues to inspire innovations in the field.
