About
Francesco Coratti is an Italian surgeon whose research has profoundly shaped the field of robotic and minimally invasive abdominal surgery. His work spans colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and clinical advantages of robot-assisted techniques over conventional approaches. Coratti's most influential contribution — a retrospective multicentre study comparing robotic and laparoscopic right colectomy — has accumulated 144 citations, establishing key benchmarks for intracorporeal anastomosis in colorectal procedures. His early and highly cited review of robot-assisted gastrectomy (74 citations) helped consolidate the evidence base for robotic approaches to gastric cancer at a time when published data remained scarce. More recently, his matched cohort study on indocyanine green fluorescent lymphography during robotic gastric cancer surgery (79 citations) has advanced real-time intraoperative imaging techniques, improving lymph node identification and surgical precision. Beyond clinical outcomes research, Coratti has made meaningful contributions to surgical education, developing structured training programs for robotic colorectal surgery that serve as a model for training novice surgeons. His diverse and consistently cited body of work reflects a career dedicated to expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery while rigorously evaluating its oncological and technical implications.
