About

Alessandra Marello is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in oncology, with a particular focus on robotic and fluorescence-guided surgery. Her most impactful contribution is a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic esophagectomy for cancer (2021, 26 citations), which provided a critical, evidence-based update on the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted thoracoscopic procedures, helping to standardize best practices in this complex field. She has also made significant strides in colorectal surgery, notably investigating the role of Indocyanine Green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence to assess anastomotic perfusion (2022, 7 citations), a technique aimed at reducing the devastating complication of anastomotic leakage. Further demonstrating her commitment to surgical excellence, Marello has published on the learning curve and path to expertise in robotic colorectal cancer surgery (2021, 2 citations), offering valuable insights for surgeons transitioning to robotic platforms. Her work bridges the gap between emerging technology and clinical outcomes, making her a key voice in the evolution of modern, precision-driven surgical oncology.
