About

Manuela Monni is a leading figure in colorectal surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. Her research primarily investigates the application of advanced surgical platforms, such as the DaVinci Xi® System, to improve patient outcomes in complex colorectal procedures. A major contribution is her work demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic technology in elderly patients, as highlighted in her most-cited study (35 citations). Monni also played a key role in a significant multicenter collaborative study (13 citations) that addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding minimally invasive surgery for transverse colon cancer, comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches against open surgery across 388 patients. Her findings help clarify the advantages of totally laparoscopic techniques in this challenging anatomical region. Beyond her clinical research, Monni has authored comprehensive reviews on robotic technology for colorectal surgery, contributing to the broader dissemination of these innovative methods. Her work is instrumental in advancing surgical precision and recovery, making her a respected voice in the evolution of modern colorectal care.
