About
Marco J. Tomassi is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a primary focus on robotic transanal techniques for rectal neoplasia. His most impactful work, a 2018 study on robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (R-TAMIS) for rectal neoplasia, has garnered 61 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Tomassi demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a full-thickness robotic excision approach for early rectal cancer and complex polyps, offering a less invasive alternative to total mesorectal excision. By detailing clinical outcomes from 58 consecutive patients, he provided critical evidence that R-TAMIS can reduce perioperative risks and costs while maintaining oncologic integrity. His research has helped establish robotic platforms as a viable tool for transanal surgery, bridging the gap between endoscopic resection and radical surgery. Tomassi’s work continues to influence surgical protocols and training, making him a key innovator in the evolution of organ-preserving rectal cancer treatment.
