About

Dr. Benedetta Badii is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric and colorectal cancers, with a particular focus on robotic surgery. Her landmark 2017 study comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy (100 citations) established critical benchmarks for surgical, clinical, and oncological outcomes, demonstrating that minimally invasive approaches can match or surpass traditional open surgery. Dr. Badii has been instrumental in evaluating the role of robotic platforms in overcoming the technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy, notably through her 2016 comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (62 citations) and her comprehensive review of robotic rectal surgery (40 citations). A pioneer in intraoperative imaging, she has explored the clinical value of indocyanine green fluorescent lymphography during robotic gastrectomy (79 citations), enabling real-time lymph node mapping that improves the precision of D2 lymphadenectomy. Dr. Badii co-founded the International Study Group on Minimally Invasive Surgery for GASTRIc Cancer (IMIGASTRIC), leading multi-institutional protocols that have shaped global best practices. Her work has garnered over 320 citations, reflecting its profound impact on surgical oncology and the adoption of robotic approaches worldwide.
