About
Dr. Genoveffa Balducci is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on the comparative efficacy of robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches for gastrointestinal cancers. Her research is dedicated to optimizing surgical outcomes, particularly for complex procedures like colectomy, rectal resection, and gastric surgery. Dr. Balducci’s major contributions include providing critical evidence through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, most notably her 2015 study comparing laparoscopic and robotic-assisted colorectal surgeries, which has garnered 68 citations and serves as a foundational reference in the field. She has also pioneered investigations into robotic surgery for elderly patients, as demonstrated by her 2020 propensity score-matched analysis on gastric cancer, a high-impact study that addresses a critical gap in surgical guidelines for this growing demographic. Her work consistently challenges conventional practices, offering data-driven insights that help surgeons choose the safest, most effective techniques. With a career dedicated to rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Dr. Balducci’s findings have directly influenced clinical decision-making and shaped the evolution of robotic surgery in oncology.
