About
A. Arezzo is a leading figure in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on sustainability and comparative effectiveness. His research centers on the environmental impact of surgical practices, especially the carbon footprint of operating rooms, which account for 60–70% of hospital waste. Arezzo’s pioneering work includes a pilot study comparing laparoscopic and robot-assisted left hemicolectomy, highlighting how the shift toward robotic surgery—while offering technical advantages—may exacerbate the National Health System’s greenhouse gas emissions, which already represent 8–10% of total emissions. His contributions have sparked critical dialogue on balancing surgical innovation with ecological responsibility. With over 1 citation for his recent 2025 study, Arezzo’s influence is growing, and he is recognized for integrating sustainability metrics into surgical outcomes research. His work not only advances surgical technique but also challenges the field to consider long-term environmental costs, making him a key voice in the movement toward greener healthcare practices.
