About
Dr. Caterina Cina is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing the treatment of rectal cancer through minimally invasive and robotic techniques. Her major contributions lie in evaluating the safety, oncologic effectiveness, and short-term outcomes of robotic rectal resection compared to traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. In her single-center cohort study of 237 consecutive patients, she demonstrated the viability of minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer, a work that has garnered 13 citations. Her 2020 study on robotic rectal resection, with 12 citations, directly addresses the gap in evidence regarding oncologic outcomes, providing crucial data from a single surgeon’s experience. Notably, her research on single-docking full robotic surgery (7 citations) highlights her focus on streamlining robotic protocols to improve surgical precision and patient recovery. Dr. Cina’s work is particularly impactful for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting robotic platforms, as she systematically compares these approaches to laparoscopy, helping to clarify their relative advantages. Her cumulative citation record reflects a growing influence in the field of colorectal surgery, where her findings support the safe integration of robotics into clinical practice.
