About

Giovanni Maria Garbarino is a leading figure in surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive gastric surgery and its application in elderly populations. His major contributions center on evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted techniques against traditional open approaches for gastric cancer, particularly in older patients—a demographic often underrepresented in clinical trials. His landmark 2020 study, "Robotic versus open oncological gastric surgery in the elderly: a propensity score-matched analysis," which has garnered 24 citations, provides critical evidence that robotic surgery is a viable and potentially superior option for this age group, addressing a significant gap in surgical guidelines. By rigorously analyzing perioperative outcomes and oncological adequacy, Garbarino has helped shape best practices for geriatric surgical care. His work not only advances the field of robotic gastrectomy but also champions personalized, age-conscious treatment strategies, making him a respected voice in the ongoing effort to improve surgical outcomes for vulnerable patients.
