About
Alessandra Marano is a prominent surgical oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the understanding and adoption of minimally invasive and robotic techniques in gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Her work spans robotic and laparoscopic approaches to gastric cancer, colon cancer, and rare tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, with a particular focus on comparing perioperative outcomes, long-term oncological results, and surgical safety. Marano's most influential contributions include a landmark 2018 study on robotic versus laparoscopic right colectomy with complete mesocolic excision, garnering 131 citations, and a widely referenced 2013 meta-analysis on robotic gastrectomy that helped define its role in gastric cancer treatment with 111 citations. Her 2017 propensity score-matched analysis further cemented her authority in comparative surgical outcomes research. Notably, she has also explored the application of fluorescence imaging in robotic surgery and pioneered single-site robotic colectomy, demonstrating a commitment to cutting-edge technical innovation. Her examination of legal and ethical dimensions of robotic system malfunctions adds a unique interdisciplinary perspective to her portfolio. Collectively, her publications, accumulating over 600 citations, make her an essential reference for surgeons and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of robotic oncological surgery.
