About

Giacomo Trallori is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric and rectal cancers, with a particular emphasis on robotic surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and potential benefits of robotic platforms over conventional laparoscopy. In his highly cited 2016 study (62 citations), Trallori provided a critical retrospective comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, showing that robotics can overcome technical limitations in complex procedures. He further established himself as a thought leader with his 2016 review on robotic rectal surgery (40 citations), which synthesized the state of the art and highlighted ongoing debates about robotic advantages. More recently, Trallori has pioneered the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging during robotic gastrectomy for lymph node mapping, a novel approach that promises to improve the precision of lymphadenectomy. His work has been instrumental in shaping the adoption of robotic systems in oncologic surgery, and his cumulative impact—evidenced by over 100 citations—positions him as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive surgical oncology.
