About
Matilde De Simone is a surgical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for right hemicolectomy. Her most-cited study, "Robotic vs laparoscopic right colectomy – the burden of age and comorbidity in perioperative outcomes," analyzes how patient age and comorbidities influence surgical outcomes, providing critical insights into patient selection for these advanced techniques. With 17 citations, this observational study contributes to the ongoing debate about the safety, feasibility, and oncologic adequacy of robotic right hemicolectomy, especially given the technical challenges of the laparoscopic approach. De Simone’s research helps surgeons weigh the benefits of robotic surgery—such as enhanced dexterity—against its higher costs and operative times, particularly in elderly or comorbid patients. Her work underscores the importance of tailoring surgical strategies to individual risk profiles, making her a valuable voice in the evolution of colorectal surgery. For students and researchers, De Simone exemplifies how clinical observation can guide evidence-based practice in the rapidly advancing field of minimally invasive oncology.
