About

Simona Deidda is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive techniques for right colectomy, particularly in cancer patients. Her major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, with a strong emphasis on surgical outcomes, operative duration, and the critical issue of conversion to open surgery. Deidda’s work, including the landmark MERCY study (17 citations), has provided robust, multicenter evidence that operation time is a key predictor of postoperative results, while her propensity score matching analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis (9 citations) offers nuanced guidance for surgical decision-making. She has also systematically analyzed the causes and consequences of conversion during minimally invasive procedures (5 citations), highlighting risk factors that can improve patient selection and operative planning. With a growing body of high-impact, practice-changing research, Deidda is shaping the future of colorectal surgery by delivering data-driven insights that enhance both short-term recovery and long-term oncologic outcomes. Her work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher striving to refine minimally invasive colectomy techniques.
