About

Antonino Agrusa is a leading figure in minimally invasive and endocrine surgery, with a career defined by advancing surgical precision and patient outcomes. His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy, colorectal cancer surgery, and the refinement of intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. Agrusa’s most impactful work, a 2017 meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy (63 citations), established a critical evidence base for innovation in endocrine surgery, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches. He has also made significant contributions to standardizing lymphadenectomy in right colon cancer, notably through the SICE network’s CoDIG 2 study, which analyzed surgical approaches and anatomical variants of the superior mesenteric artery to improve oncologic outcomes. Further, his multicenter study on enterotomy closure after distal gastrectomy (2022) addressed a key technical challenge in minimally invasive gastric surgery. Through these efforts, Agrusa has helped shape modern surgical protocols, emphasizing reproducibility and safety. His work is widely cited by peers seeking to adopt advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques, solidifying his reputation as a surgeon-scientist dedicated to translating technical innovation into tangible clinical benefits.
