About
Marco Montorsi is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on pancreatic and colorectal surgery. His landmark work includes the DIPLOMA study (280 citations), a pivotal multicenter comparison of minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for ductal adenocarcinoma, which has shaped international treatment guidelines. Montorsi has also been instrumental in advancing robotic surgery, demonstrating its feasibility and safety across multiple domains—from early-stage lung cancer resection, where he compared costs and outcomes of robotic, VATS, and open approaches (122 citations), to colorectal procedures using a novel robotic platform with haptic feedback (97 citations). His contributions extend to consensus-building, as evidenced by his role in the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery’s expert guidelines on managing the pancreatic transection plane after left pancreatectomy (73 citations). With a career spanning over 30 years and more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, Montorsi is recognized for bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical evidence, making him a trusted voice in the global surgical community.
