About
Guido Caccianiga is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotic surgery, human motor learning, and advanced simulation technologies. His work focuses on transforming how surgeons acquire complex psychomotor skills for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS), addressing critical gaps in current training curricula. Caccianiga’s major contributions include pioneering evaluations of virtual reality (VR) and inanimate training platforms for skill development, demonstrating that VR can effectively prepare novices for real surgical tasks. He has also advanced multi-sensory feedback systems—comparing visual, haptic, and visuo-haptic guidance—to enhance simulation-based training, and developed autonomous endoscope motion control to reduce surgeon cognitive load during procedures like da Vinci-assisted neobladder reconstruction. Notably, his investigation into anodal cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (t-DCS) reveals its potential to accelerate skill learning and transfer in complex motor tasks, bridging neuroscience and surgical education. With key papers accumulating over 70 citations, Caccianiga’s innovative experimental setups and usability studies are shaping the future of safe, efficient surgical training, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of robotic surgery pedagogy.
