About

Marco Catarci is a leading Italian surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical techniques for abdominal wall reconstruction and colorectal cancer treatment. His major contributions include pioneering the THT (transversus abdominis release with hernia sac and TAR) technique for midline defects with diastasis recti, as demonstrated in his highly cited prospective study of 110 consecutive patients (29 citations). This work has significantly improved clinical and functional outcomes for patients with complex abdominal wall hernias. In colorectal surgery, Catarci leads the SICE (Società Italiana di Chirurgia Endoscopica e Nuove tecnologie) network’s CoDIG 2 study, which establishes standardized approaches for laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and D3 lymphadenectomy in Italy—a critical step toward optimizing oncologic outcomes in colon cancer. His research addresses longstanding debates about the extent of lymph node dissection, bridging Japanese guidelines with European practice. With a career marked by rigorous prospective studies and multicenter collaborations, Catarci’s work has shaped modern surgical standards, earning him recognition as a key figure in evidence-based surgical innovation. His ongoing impact is reflected in the growing adoption of his techniques across Italian surgical networks.
