About
Simone Assumma is an emerging surgical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic-assisted urological and pelvic surgery. His research focuses on the integration of next-generation robotic platforms into clinical practice, with particular emphasis on the Hugo RAS and Versius CMR systems — technologies that have entered the market following the expiration of Da Vinci's foundational patents. Assumma has made significant contributions by providing first clinical descriptions and step-by-step surgical technique analyses for procedures including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, and intracorporeal neobladder reconstruction, with his pioneering case reports accumulating dozens of citations within just one to two years of publication. Beyond technical descriptions, Assumma brings a rigorous analytical lens to the field, examining cost comparisons between competing robotic systems, skill transferability across platforms, and the educational potential of surgical simulators for medical and nursing students. His work on fluorescence confocal microscopy during prostatectomy, his most-cited paper with 53 citations, reflects a broader commitment to intraoperative innovation. Cumulatively, his research addresses one of modern surgery's most pressing questions: how to responsibly evaluate and implement an increasingly competitive robotic surgical landscape.
