About

Fabio Mosca is a leading figure at the intersection of surgical robotics, neonatal care, and precision medicine. His research focuses on developing advanced robotic and patient-specific solutions to enhance safety and accuracy in high-stakes clinical environments. A cornerstone of his work is the design of patient-specific templates for pedicle spine screw placement, a method that dramatically reduces the 10-40% error rate of traditional free-hand techniques by using preoperative CT segmentation and virtual planning. This highly cited paper (31 citations) has influenced modern spinal surgery protocols. Mosca also made history by performing the world’s first laparoscopic robot-assisted pancreas transplantation (2013), a groundbreaking achievement in minimally invasive transplant surgery. More recently, he has pioneered the application of robotic therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), addressing the critical challenge of medication errors in vulnerable newborns. His 2019 study on robotic compounding in the NICU (11 citations) demonstrates significant improvements in cost, accuracy, and time efficiency. Through these diverse contributions, Mosca is redefining the boundaries of robotic surgery—from the spine to the operating room to the incubator—improving outcomes for patients of all ages.
