About
Enrico Piantoni is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic-assisted skull base surgery, with a focused expertise in transnasal endoscopic approaches. His major contribution lies in advancing the precision and safety of minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures through the development of novel robotic systems. Piantoni is best known for his seminal 2017 work, "Robotic Transnasal Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery," which systematically reviewed the literature and introduced the Brescia Endoscope Assistant Robotic Holder—a hybrid prototype designed to enhance surgical dexterity and stability. This paper, with 44 citations, has become a foundational reference for integrating robotics into complex skull base interventions. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, addressing critical challenges such as instrument control and visualization in narrow surgical corridors. Piantoni’s work has not only influenced the design of next-generation surgical robots but also set benchmarks for future clinical trials. By combining rigorous systematic analysis with hands-on prototype development, he has established himself as a key innovator in the evolving landscape of robotic endoscopic surgery, inspiring both surgeons and engineers to push the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive neurosurgery.
