About
Fernanda Bellotti Formiga is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer. Her major contributions lie in the rigorous evaluation of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery, where she has conducted high-level evidence synthesis to clarify the comparative effectiveness of these approaches. Her most cited paper, a 2025 trial sequential meta-analysis of randomized trials, critically assessed whether robotic surgery offers meaningful clinical or economic advantages over the established laparoscopic standard. This work, already garnering 4 citations shortly after publication, reflects her commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. Beyond this, Formiga has contributed to systematic reviews and clinical studies that inform best practices in colorectal oncology, emphasizing patient outcomes and surgical quality. Her research is instrumental for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of robotic surgery, providing clarity amid technological hype. As an active investigator, she continues to shape the field through methodologically sound analyses that bridge surgical technique and patient-centered care.
