About
Giacomo Calini is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic platforms, especially the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS system, for complex procedures such as ileocolic resection in Crohn’s disease and low anterior resection. Calini’s work has shown that robotic intracorporeal anastomosis offers superior perioperative outcomes compared to traditional laparoscopic approaches, with his most cited paper (2021) accumulating 21 citations. He has pioneered multi-docking strategies for deep pelvic surgery and was among the first to report on robotic redo ileocolonic resections for Crohn’s disease, addressing a previously unelucidated area. His comparative studies on colorectal cancer outcomes using the Hugo™ RAS system (2025) represent the first worldwide analysis of its kind, garnering significant attention. With over 130 total citations across his top ten papers, Calini’s research has shaped best practices in robotic colorectal surgery, and his exploration of augmented reality integration signals his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation.
