About

Luca Guastini is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the intersection of robotics, microsurgery, and telecommunications. His work centers on advancing robot-assisted laser phonomicrosurgery—a high-precision technique for treating delicate laryngeal diseases. Guastini’s major contributions include the development of a novel computerized surgeon–machine interface that dramatically improves the usability, accuracy, and controllability of laser microsurgery, as detailed in his highly cited 2013 paper (67 citations). He is also a trailblazer in remote telesurgery, having demonstrated the first successful 5G robotic transoral laser microsurgeries on a cadaver (49 and 45 citations), proving that complex vocal cord procedures can be performed from a distance with ultra-low latency. His work on microsurgery robots (45 citations) addresses the critical need for high-precision surgical interventions that reduce hospitalization and improve patient quality of life. Through the μRALP project, Guastini continues to push the boundaries of micro-technologies for endoscopic laser surgery. With over 250 total citations, his research is shaping the future of minimally invasive, remotely deliverable surgical care.
