About
Marcello Pisano is a leading figure in laparoscopic colorectal surgery, with a primary focus on standardizing oncologic techniques for colon cancer treatment. His work centers on the critical debate surrounding the extent of lymphadenectomy in right hemicolectomy, particularly the adoption of D3 dissection—a technique that removes central lymph nodes to improve staging and potentially survival. As a key contributor to the SICE (Società Italiana di Chirurgia Endoscopica e Nuove tecnologie) network and the CoDIG 2 (ColonDx Italian Group) study, Pisano has spearheaded prospective, multi-center research to evaluate surgical approaches across Italy. His most-cited paper (2024, 6 citations) questions whether a standardized approach to right colon lymphadenectomy exists, highlighting the gap between Japanese guidelines and Italian practice. This work is pivotal for surgeons seeking evidence-based consensus. Pisano’s research directly impacts clinical decision-making, pushing for uniformity in high-quality oncologic surgery. His dedication to collaborative, network-driven studies positions him as a key voice in refining colorectal cancer surgery, with implications for patient outcomes and surgical training.
