About
Danila Azzolina is a leading researcher in surgical oncology and perioperative medicine, whose work is reshaping how we approach complex abdominal surgeries. Her primary research areas include minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal and pancreatic cancers, intraoperative respiratory management, and health economics. Azzolina is best known for her landmark Bayesian network meta-analysis comparing histopathological outcomes across transanal, robotic, laparoscopic, and open rectal cancer resections—a study that has garnered 11 citations and provides crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. She has also made significant contributions to intraoperative care, leading a systematic review on the individualization of positive-end-expiratory pressure using electrical impedance tomography, demonstrating her commitment to patient-specific physiology. Her work on the nationwide cost-effectiveness and quality-of-life analysis of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (8 citations) has provided vital economic data for healthcare systems. Additionally, Azzolina has been instrumental in establishing surgical standards through the SICE network’s prospective study on right colon lymphadenectomy and has shaped clinical practice through a 2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy. Her research consistently bridges technical innovation with real-world patient outcomes and healthcare sustainability.
