About

Angela Maurizi is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing the management of complex gastrointestinal and pancreatic diseases. Her primary research areas include pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and the optimization of minimally invasive colorectal surgery. Maurizi’s major contributions are twofold: she has deepened the clinical understanding of pNETs, rare and clinically demanding tumors that can be either functioning or nonfunctioning, often requiring nuanced surgical intervention for small lesions. Additionally, she has been instrumental in standardizing laparoscopic techniques for colon cancer, particularly through her involvement in the SICE network’s prospective CoDIG 2 study, which evaluated the approach to right colon lymphadenectomy in Italy. This work, with 6 citations, addresses the ongoing debate over the extent of lymph node dissection—comparing the Japanese D3 standard to other methods—to improve oncologic outcomes. Her most cited paper, “Pancreatic Surgery” (2015, 7 citations), remains a key reference for surgeons managing pNETs. Through these studies, Maurizi has contributed to evidence-based guidelines and surgical best practices, making her a notable figure in the fields of pancreatic and colorectal surgery.
