About
Marco Novelli is an emerging surgical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic colorectal surgery. His research portfolio reflects a focused commitment to understanding the evolving landscape of surgical technology, particularly the transition away from traditional laparoscopic techniques toward robotic-assisted platforms. His provocatively titled and widely read papers, "The Death of Laparoscopy" (63 citations) and its 2025 sequel, have sparked significant conversation within the surgical community by systematically analyzing adoption trends across major procedures — from proctectomy to esophagectomy — and projecting the future dominance of robotic surgery. Novelli has made meaningful contributions to the clinical evaluation of the Medtronic Hugo RAS system, developing innovative multi-docking strategies for low anterior resection and deep pelvic procedures (17 citations), and has contributed comparative outcome data on robotic ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (9 citations). His more recent investigations into robotic surgery in emergency colorectal settings and its application in Crohn's colitis reflect a broadening scope. Working within a high-volume tertiary referral center, Novelli's body of work is shaping how surgeons think about adopting next-generation robotic platforms in increasingly complex and urgent clinical contexts.
