About
Fausto Rosa is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex abdominal malignancies. His work centers on pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal surgery, where he has systematically evaluated the safety, feasibility, and long-term outcomes of robotic techniques. Rosa’s landmark multicenter study on robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, cited over 50 times, demonstrated that robotic surgery offers comparable short-term benefits to laparoscopy while potentially improving oncologic precision. He further advanced the field by co-authoring a large multicenter analysis of 236 robotic distal pancreatectomies, establishing benchmarks for safety and feasibility. Rosa has also investigated surgical outcomes in elderly patients, notably showing that “biological age” is a critical predictor of success after pancreaticoduodenectomy. His meta-analyses on robotic incisional hernia repair and gastric GIST resections have helped clarify the role of robotics in these settings. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he contributed to a national Italian study analyzing its impact on pancreatic surgery, reflecting his commitment to evidence-based practice. With over 160 citations across his most-cited works, Rosa’s research continues to shape minimally invasive surgical standards and inform clinical decision-making for surgeons worldwide.
