About
Dr. Elena Belloni is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a specialized focus on enhancing patient outcomes through innovative fluorescence-guided techniques. Her primary research centers on the application of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence in robotic and laparoscopic procedures, particularly for rectal cancer. Dr. Belloni’s major contribution lies in addressing the critical challenge of anastomotic leakage (AL), a devastating complication occurring in up to 30% of cases. Through her seminal 2022 narrative review, which has garnered 17 citations, she has systematically demonstrated how real-time ICG angiography allows surgeons to objectively assess bowel perfusion, thereby reducing AL rates and improving surgical precision. Her work is pivotal in establishing standardized protocols for fluorescence use in robotic surgery, directly impacting surgical decision-making and patient safety. Dr. Belloni’s research is highly regarded for bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical application, making her a key voice in the evolution of precision surgery for colorectal malignancies.
