About

Monica De Angelis is a pioneering surgeon whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on robotic techniques. Her most-cited study, "Robotic adrenalectomy: technical aspects, early results and learning curve" (2012, 38 citations), provides a foundational analysis of robot-assisted transperitoneal adrenalectomy, detailing the procedure's technical nuances, early outcomes, and the learning curve required for mastery. This work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic technology can safely extend the indications for minimally invasive adrenalectomy, offering patients reduced trauma and faster recovery. De Angelis’s contributions are especially valuable for surgeons navigating the adoption of robotic platforms, as her research clarifies the steps to proficiency and highlights the potential for improved precision in adrenal surgery. Through her detailed reporting of a 30-case series, she has helped establish benchmarks for success and safety in this evolving field. Her work continues to influence surgical education and practice, making her a key figure in the integration of robotics into endocrine surgery.
