About

Dr. Federico Scorletti is a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose work has centered on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery, for the most vulnerable patients. His research focuses on expanding the boundaries of pediatric urology and gynecology, demonstrating that complex procedures can be performed safely even in the smallest children. Dr. Scorletti’s major contributions include establishing the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in infants weighing less than 10 kg, a landmark achievement detailed in his 2014 study (16 citations). This work challenged existing surgical limits, offering a less invasive option for severe congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction, including in children with solitary kidneys. Additionally, his 2013 paper on robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric gynecology (32 citations) highlighted the potential of this technology to revolutionize mini-invasive procedures for young patients. With over 48 combined citations for these key studies, Dr. Scorletti’s research has provided critical evidence that robotic surgery can be effectively and safely applied in the pediatric population, paving the way for broader adoption and improved outcomes in neonatal and infant surgery.
