About
Dr. Sara Messeri is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on robotic surgery for gastric cancer. Her most impactful work centers on the clinical application of fluorescent lymphography using Indocyanine Green (ICG), a technique that dramatically improves the precision of lymph node dissection during robotic gastrectomy. In her seminal 2019 matched cohort study—cited 79 times—Dr. Messeri demonstrated that ICG-guided fluorescence significantly enhances the detection of sentinel lymph nodes and reduces the risk of incomplete tumor staging. This contribution has been instrumental in establishing a new standard for intraoperative navigation, directly improving patient outcomes by minimizing recurrence and surgical morbidity. Her research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and practical surgical technique, offering a clear roadmap for safer, more effective cancer care. Dr. Messeri’s work is widely recognized as a cornerstone in the field, providing both a robust evidence base and a replicable methodology for surgeons worldwide.
