About

Marco Delsanto is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of telecommunications and surgical robotics, whose work is redefining the boundaries of remote medicine. His primary research areas include 5G-enabled telesurgery, robotic-assisted microsurgery, and teleoperated systems for minimally invasive procedures. Delsanto’s major contributions lie in demonstrating the clinical viability of ultra-low-latency, high-bandwidth 5G networks for performing complex surgeries from a distance. His landmark studies, such as “5G Robotic Telesurgery: Remote Transoral Laser Microsurgeries on a Cadaver” (2020, 49 citations) and “Operating From a Distance: Robotic Vocal Cord 5G Telesurgery on a Cadaver” (2020, 45 citations), provide the first proof-of-concept that surgeons can successfully execute delicate transoral laser procedures on vocal cords via robotic systems controlled over 5G links. These works have garnered significant attention, with over 94 combined citations, underscoring their impact on both surgical practice and telecommunications engineering. By bridging the gap between next-generation mobile networks and precision surgery, Delsanto is laying the groundwork for a future where expert surgical care can be delivered to patients in remote or underserved locations, potentially revolutionizing access to life-saving treatments.
