About
Francesco Ricci is a surgical researcher and clinician whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive abdominal surgery. His research spans colorectal, upper gastrointestinal, and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques and their clinical outcomes. Ricci's most influential contribution examines robotic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis, a landmark multicentre comparative study that has accumulated 144 citations and helped establish intracorporeal anastomosis as a viable and potentially superior approach in minimally invasive colonic surgery. His 2016 analysis of 108 consecutive robotic right hemicolectomy procedures provided valuable insight into the learning curve associated with this technically demanding operation, garnering 77 citations and offering practical guidance for surgeons adopting the technique. Beyond colorectal surgery, Ricci has made meaningful contributions to robotic gastrectomy — including novel intracorporeal reconstructive approaches — robotic distal pancreatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. His body of work collectively demonstrates a commitment to expanding the frontiers of robotic surgery across multiple abdominal disciplines, improving reproducibility, patient outcomes, and surgical precision in an era of rapidly evolving operative technology.
