About
Simona Borin is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for colon cancer treatment, particularly through robotic surgery and complete mesocolic excision (CME). Her major contributions center on optimizing oncologic outcomes and perioperative safety in right colectomy. Her landmark 2018 study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic right colectomy with CME, cited 131 times, demonstrated superior perioperative outcomes and 5-year survival in a 202-patient series, establishing robotic CME as a viable standard. Borin pioneered the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to enhance surgical precision, introducing the "double ICG technique" for real-time lymphatic mapping and anastomotic perfusion assessment—a novel approach detailed in her 2018 and 2020 papers. She also contributed to the MIRCAST study (42 citations), which evaluated intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis techniques. Her work has been instrumental in refining robotic CME protocols, as evidenced by her systematic review on the topic. With over 300 total citations, Borin’s innovations in fluorescence-guided surgery and suprapubic robotic approaches have significantly impacted colorectal oncology, offering patients improved survival and reduced complications.
