About

Fernanda Antico Benetti is a Brazilian surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of bariatric surgery and emerging minimally invasive technologies. Her research focuses primarily on the surgical treatment of obesity, with a particular emphasis on comparing robotic-assisted techniques against conventional laparoscopic approaches. Working out of the Garrido Institute in Brazil, Benetti has contributed meaningfully to the growing body of evidence evaluating the clinical viability and outcomes of robotic bariatric surgery in the Brazilian healthcare context — a field still in its early stages of adoption across Latin America. Her most notable contribution, a case series analyzing robotic bariatric procedures published in 2018 and disseminated in both Portuguese and English-language journals, has accumulated citations across the surgical community, reflecting genuine interest from researchers and clinicians navigating the transition toward robotic platforms. The bilingual publication strategy demonstrates a commitment to reaching both domestic and international audiences. While her citation profile remains early-career in scale, Benetti's work addresses a timely and clinically significant question: whether robotic surgery offers meaningful advantages over laparoscopy in treating obesity — a question with direct implications for patient outcomes and healthcare resource allocation worldwide.
