About
Enrico Maria Minnella is a leading figure in perioperative medicine, best known for pioneering the concept of multimodal prehabilitation—the process of enhancing a patient’s functional capacity before surgery. His landmark 2023 study, cited over 429 times, demonstrated that a structured program combining exercise, nutrition, and psychological support before colorectal cancer surgery significantly reduces postoperative complications and accelerates recovery. This work has reshaped surgical care, shifting the focus from purely intraoperative interventions to proactive preoperative optimization. Minnella’s research extends beyond colorectal surgery, exploring how prehabilitation improves outcomes in cardiac, orthopedic, and oncologic procedures. With a citation count exceeding 5,000, his contributions have been recognized with multiple international awards, including the prestigious European Society of Anaesthesiology’s Best Abstract Prize. He is also a sought-after speaker and collaborator, actively translating evidence into clinical guidelines. For students and researchers, Minnella’s work exemplifies how integrating physiology, behavioral science, and surgical innovation can transform patient care, making him a pivotal figure in the movement toward personalized, preemptive medicine.
