About

Alessia Corsi is a pioneering figure in the field of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in robotic surgery for complex gastrointestinal and pancreatic malignancies. Her major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and comparative advantages of robotic approaches over traditional laparoscopic techniques. Her landmark 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis, cited 95 times, rigorously compared robotic versus laparoscopic colonic resections for both cancer and benign diseases, providing critical evidence for the adoption of robotic platforms in colorectal surgery. Corsi has also advanced the technical frontier of robotic gastrectomy, notably developing and reporting on a fully intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis for total gastrectomy—a technically demanding procedure that pushes the boundaries of minimally invasive reconstruction. In pancreatic surgery, she has contributed to the refinement of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, analyzing outcomes of the Warshaw technique, and has documented the successful application of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy for rare tumors like duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Her work extends to clinical diagnostics, as evidenced by her report on a road accident caused by a pancreatic insulinoma, highlighting the real-world consequences of endocrine tumors. Through her high-impact publications, Corsi has established herself as a key voice in the evidence-based integration of robotics into oncologic surgery.
