About

Chiara Peluso is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex colorectal conditions, particularly in vulnerable patient populations. Her most impactful contribution is a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis on laparoscopic and robotic surgery for colorectal cancer in older patients, which has garnered 17 citations. This work addresses the critical challenge of safely operating on an aging population, demonstrating that modern minimally invasive approaches offer effective outcomes while reducing hospital stays and intensive care needs. Peluso also contributed a notable 2020 case report on the robotic approach to large tailgut cysts with malignant transformation, earning 6 citations. This rare congenital retrorectal lesion carries a high risk of malignancy, and her successful robotic exeresis highlights the precision and advantages of robotic surgery in anatomically challenging resections. Through these studies, Peluso has helped establish evidence that robotic and laparoscopic techniques are not only safe but preferable for older patients and rare pathologies, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and geriatric care. Her work continues to influence clinical decision-making in colorectal surgery, emphasizing tailored, less invasive approaches for high-risk populations.
