About
Dr. Luana Franceschilli is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes for rectal cancer patients, particularly through the prevention and management of anastomotic leakage—one of the most feared complications in colorectal surgery. Her most notable contribution is the TICRANT study (2017), a prospective multicenter interventional trial that introduced and validated a novel technique for creating low colorectal and coloanal anastomoses. This work, cited 20 times, established a standardized method for transanal inspection and management, directly addressing the critical need for safer anastomotic construction. Dr. Franceschilli’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and clinical safety, offering a reproducible technique that reduces leakage rates and improves patient recovery. Her work has been instrumental in advancing minimally invasive approaches and has influenced surgical protocols in centers worldwide. By combining rigorous methodology with practical surgical application, she has made a lasting impact on the field of colorectal surgery, earning recognition as a key figure in the ongoing effort to enhance the safety and efficacy of rectal cancer treatment.
