About
Chiara Eva Catalano is an emerging surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on urological and pelvic procedures. Her research has centered on the clinical evaluation and adoption of the Versius® Surgical System (CMR Surgical), a next-generation robotic platform distinguished by its modular, independent bedside units and open surgical console. Catalano's most influential contribution to date is her landmark case series documenting 18 robot-assisted radical prostatectomies using the Versius system — one of the first published clinical experiences with this technology — which has already garnered 23 citations since its 2023 publication. Building on this foundation, she has extended her investigations to multicentric analyses of pelvic surgery outcomes and partial nephrectomy techniques, collectively accumulating over 45 citations across her primary works. Her research addresses a critical question in modern surgical oncology: whether newer robotic platforms can deliver comparable safety and efficacy to established systems. By rigorously documenting surgical setup, early clinical outcomes, and procedural versatility across institutions, Catalano's work provides the evidence base that surgeons, hospitals, and healthcare systems need when considering adoption of emerging robotic technologies.
