About

Gabriella Teresa Capolupo is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly in rectal cancer and complex colorectal procedures. Her work systematically addresses critical questions in surgical quality, from functional preservation to operative efficiency. Her most impactful study, a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic rectal resection, demonstrated that this approach preserves anorectal function—a vital outcome for cancer survivors—garnering 34 citations and influencing postoperative care standards. She has also investigated the timing of conversion during laparoscopic colorectal surgery, showing that early conversion can mitigate adverse outcomes, a finding with direct clinical relevance. More recently, Capolupo has pioneered the use of the Hugo™ RAS platform for splenic flexure resection, detailing trocar placement and docking strategies to optimize this technically demanding procedure. Her work extends to liver robotic surgery, where she reviews current applications and future directions for managing colorectal liver metastases. With a career spanning over a decade, Capolupo’s contributions are shaping the next generation of colorectal surgical practice, emphasizing precision, safety, and functional recovery.
