About

Chiara Listorti is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical oncology and bariatric medicine. Her research focuses on the application of robotic technology to complex abdominal procedures, particularly in colorectal cancer and bariatric surgery. Listorti’s landmark study on robotic right colectomy for cancer with intracorporeal anastomosis, cited 66 times, established critical short-term outcome benchmarks from a single institution, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of this advanced technique. She further shaped the field with a highly cited systematic review on robotic bariatric surgery (52 citations), which provided a comprehensive evaluation of its efficacy for severely obese patients, helping to guide clinical adoption. Her analysis of the Warshaw technique for spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (17 citations) contributed valuable short-term outcome data to the ongoing debate between vessel preservation and sacrifice. Through these contributions, Listorti has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic approaches can achieve oncologic rigor while improving recovery, solidifying her reputation as a key figure in the transition toward more precise, minimally invasive surgical care.
