About

Maria Clotilde Carra is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex abdominal procedures. Her work systematically evaluates how surgical approach—robotic, laparoscopic, transanal, or open—impacts patient outcomes, from operative time to oncological integrity. Carra’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic multiquadrant colorectal resections, as evidenced by her highly cited 2022 paper (16 citations), and her pivotal role in large-scale, multicenter studies comparing robotic versus laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (9 citations). Her 2024 Bayesian network meta-analysis (11 citations) provides crucial evidence on histopathological outcomes across surgical modalities for rectal cancer, helping to clarify optimal treatment pathways. Notably, she led the 2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy, establishing standardized protocols for pelvic floor disorders. With a growing citation impact and a focus on evidence-based surgical innovation, Carra is a key voice advancing precision and safety in colorectal surgery for the next generation of clinicians and researchers.
