About
Franco Marinozzi’s research bridges the critical intersection of surgical innovation, rehabilitation technology, and health technology assessment (HTA). His most impactful work, a 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted colectomy and rectal resection, has garnered 68 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for minimally invasive colorectal surgery. This contribution directly informs clinical decision-making by evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic platforms against established laparoscopic techniques. Beyond the operating room, Marinozzi has explored the effectiveness of robotic-assisted walking therapy, investigating how patient age and sex influence rehabilitation outcomes. His forward-looking research includes the development of an HTA decision-support toolbox designed for Italian hospitals, addressing the complex, multi-dimensional challenge of integrating new technologies into healthcare systems. This work considers both short-term clinical impacts and long-term economic sustainability, reflecting a systems-level approach to innovation. By combining rigorous surgical evidence with strategic health technology evaluation, Marinozzi’s career exemplifies how translational research can shape both immediate patient care and the broader, sustainable adoption of medical technologies.
