About
Matteo Barabino is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on hepatobiliary and pelvic procedures. His research centers on three key areas: skill acquisition and transference across emerging robotic platforms, the clinical application of near-infrared fluorescence imaging, and the systematic evaluation of learning curves for complex robotic surgeries. Barabino’s major contributions include demonstrating that prior robotic console expertise can significantly enhance basic skills on new systems like the Hugo RAS, a finding with profound implications for surgical training and platform adoption. He has also advanced the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to improve the real-time detection of colorectal liver metastases and biliary structures during challenging minimally invasive cholecystectomies. With over 57 citations across his most-cited works, Barabino’s impact is evident in his role as a key contributor to the Italian I Go MILS registry, a vital tool for disseminating and characterizing mini-invasive surgery practices. His ongoing work on the learning curve for robotic liver surgery provides essential guidance for centers integrating robotic programs, solidifying his reputation as a leader in shaping the future of surgical innovation.
