About
Leonardo Lenisa is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for pelvic floor disorders and colorectal malignancies. His research centers on the application of laparoscopic and robotic surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes for complex conditions like rectal prolapse and colorectal cancer. Lenisa’s major contributions include pioneering cumulative experience studies that demonstrate the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic approaches for right colectomy and total mesorectal excision (TME) in rectal cancer, with his work on right colectomy for malignancy accumulating 22 citations. He has also been instrumental in establishing standardized protocols for robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (RVMR), serving as a key figure in the 2025 Delphi consensus that aims to harmonize preoperative evaluation, patient selection, and procedural techniques for rectal prolapse. This consensus work, while recent, underscores his leadership in shaping clinical best practices. Lenisa’s cumulative impact is evident in his high-citation papers, which provide foundational evidence for the adoption of robotic techniques in colorectal surgery, making him a respected authority in the field.
