About
Marco Scatizzi is a leading figure in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical techniques for rectal and colon cancer. His most impactful work centers on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, particularly for total mesorectal excision (TME) in mid and low rectal cancer. In a landmark 2016 study, he demonstrated that robotic surgery offers significant short-term advantages over laparoscopy, including reduced conversion rates and better preservation of autonomic nerves, while achieving comparable oncological outcomes—a contribution that has garnered 77 citations and shaped clinical practice. More recently, Scatizzi has turned his attention to standardizing lymphadenectomy in right colon cancer, leading the SICE network's CoDIG 2 study to evaluate the adoption of D3 dissection across Italy. This work addresses a critical gap in surgical consistency, aiming to improve survival outcomes through more rigorous nodal clearance. His research is characterized by rigorous methodology and a commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, making him a key voice in the evolution of colorectal cancer surgery.
