About

Dr. Angela Pezzolla is a leading figure in endocrine and minimally invasive surgery, whose work has significantly advanced the treatment of both thyroid and colorectal cancers. Her research primarily focuses on the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly in complex oncological resections. Dr. Pezzolla’s most impactful contribution is her landmark 2017 study on robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer, which has garnered over 345 citations and provides critical evidence on the technological advantages of robotic systems for precise pelvic dissection. She is also a pioneer in transaxillary robotic thyroid surgery, demonstrating the feasibility of the Da Vinci Xi platform for improved cosmetic outcomes in low-risk thyroid cancer patients. More recently, her 2023 work on the management of parathyroid carcinoma, a rare endocrine malignancy, has added valuable insights from a six-year single-center experience. Through these contributions, Dr. Pezzolla has established herself as a key authority in the integration of robotics into endocrine and colorectal surgery, shaping best practices and improving patient outcomes in these specialized fields.
