About
Carlo Alberto Schena is a leading researcher in minimally invasive surgery, with a focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for colorectal and general surgery. His major contributions include pioneering comparative studies on robotic, transanal, and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, as demonstrated in a European multicentre propensity score-matched study (24 citations). He has also advanced the field through systematic reviews and meta-analyses on robotic surgery for inguinal and ventral hernia repair (54 citations) and new robotic platforms in general surgery (65 citations). His work on the impact of operation duration on postoperative outcomes in minimally invasive right colectomy (15 citations) and histopathological outcomes across surgical approaches for rectal cancer (11 citations) has informed clinical best practices. Notably, Schena has contributed to training curricula for minimally invasive emergency digestive surgery (24 citations) and has explored robotic multiquadrant colorectal procedures (16 citations). His research consistently emphasizes evidence-based comparisons to optimize surgical techniques, with over 230 total citations reflecting his influence on surgical oncology and minimally invasive innovation.
