About
Tommaso Farolfi is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic-assisted general surgery, with a specific focus on expanding the clinical applications of next-generation surgical platforms. His primary research centers on the implementation and optimization of the Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system for complex abdominal procedures. Farolfi’s major contributions include leading the first worldwide reported series of rectal resections using the Hugo™ system, where he meticulously described critical docking angles and setup protocols to enhance surgical efficiency. He also performed the first global experiences with full robotic cholecystectomy on this platform, demonstrating its feasibility beyond its initial urological and gynecological approvals. His work has garnered significant attention, with his seminal 2024 paper on rectal resections accumulating 19 citations and his 2023 cholecystectomy study earning 13 citations, establishing foundational knowledge for the field. By systematically documenting technical advantages and clinical outcomes, Farolfi is helping to democratize robotic surgery, potentially reducing costs and broadening patient access to minimally invasive care. His monocentric experience, published in 2025, further solidifies his role as a key early adopter and educator in the adoption of novel robotic systems for general surgery.
