About
Davide Lomanto is a distinguished surgeon and researcher whose work spans two transformative domains in modern surgery: minimally invasive hernia repair and robotic-endoscopic surgical systems. As a leading contributor to the International Endohernia Society (IEHS), Lomanto has played a pivotal role in shaping global surgical practice through his co-authorship of the widely adopted IEHS Guidelines for laparoscopic treatment of ventral and incisional abdominal wall hernias, with the 2019 updates alone accumulating over 530 citations — a testament to their profound influence on how surgeons worldwide approach hernia management. Equally remarkable is Lomanto's pioneering work in surgical robotics. His research on the Master and Slave Transluminal Endoscopic Robot (MASTER) demonstrated for the first time that complex procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and transgastric hepatic resection could be performed through natural orifices using robotic assistance — work that helped lay the conceptual and technical foundations for NOTES-based robotic surgery. His earlier investigation into robotically assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy further underscores a career-long commitment to advancing minimally invasive techniques. With contributions spanning clinical guidelines, experimental robotics, and comparative surgical outcomes, Lomanto represents a rare bridge between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice.
