About
Davide Papis is a surgeon whose research focuses on improving outcomes in minimally invasive colorectal and gastric cancer surgery. His most cited work investigates the role of pelvic anatomy—specifically pelvimetry—in predicting anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. This 2014 study, with 15 citations, was among the first to systematically match pelvimetric parameters with surgical outcomes, offering a framework for preoperative risk stratification in open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. Papis has also contributed to the standardization of minimally invasive gastric practice, co-authoring a national survey on behalf of the Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer (GIRCG) that captured the current status of laparoscopic and robotic techniques across Italy. His work bridges anatomical precision and surgical innovation, helping to refine patient selection and operative planning. By highlighting how individual pelvic dimensions influence complication rates, Papis has advanced the evidence base for tailored surgical strategies, making his research valuable for colorectal and gastric surgeons seeking to reduce morbidity in complex pelvic and upper gastrointestinal procedures.
