About
Dr. Laura Lorenzon is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for gastrointestinal cancers. Her most cited study, a 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted colectomy and rectal resection (68 citations), established critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches. She is the principal investigator of the landmark MIRCAST study (2023, 42 citations), which directly addresses the unresolved question of whether intracorporeal or extracorporeal anastomosis yields better outcomes in right hemicolectomy—a study that has already shaped operative decision-making. Dr. Lorenzon also contributes to educational leadership, co-authoring the 2024 ESSO core curriculum update for gastroesophageal cancer management. Her work bridges high-level evidence synthesis with practical surgical innovation, earning her recognition as a key voice in optimizing patient outcomes through rigorous comparative effectiveness research.
