About

Dr. Debora Gianetri is a leading figure in minimally invasive esophageal surgery, with a focused expertise in the robotic-assisted treatment of achalasia. Her research centers on refining surgical techniques to improve clinical and pathophysiological outcomes for patients with this complex motility disorder. Dr. Gianetri’s most significant contributions stem from her pioneering work at the University of Pisa, where she has systematically advanced the Heller–Dor myotomy procedure. Her landmark 2019 study, detailing the clinical and pathophysiological outcomes of robotic-assisted Heller–Dor myotomy, has been cited 17 times, establishing a benchmark for single-center excellence. Building on this, her 2021 report on the "Pisa experience" further validated the safety and efficacy of the robotic approach, demonstrating reduced morbidity and enhanced recovery. Through these influential publications, Dr. Gianetri has not only elevated the standard of care for idiopathic achalasia but also provided a reproducible model for robotic esophageal surgery, making her a key contributor to the field’s evolution toward precision, minimally invasive interventions.
