About
Maria Novella Ringressi is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastrointestinal cancers, particularly gastric and pancreatic tumors. Her most impactful work includes a landmark 2016 study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer—a paper cited over 60 times that provided critical evidence on the benefits of robotic surgery in complex procedures. She has also made significant contributions to the management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs), authoring a highly cited 2018 review that addresses the growing challenge of incidentally diagnosed small PanNETs. This work explores the delicate balance between aggressive surgical resection and observation, offering clinicians evidence-based guidance for these increasingly common tumors. With over 100 citations across her key publications, Ringressi’s research has shaped modern surgical decision-making, demonstrating that robotic approaches can enhance precision in gastric cancer surgery while also clarifying when conservative management is appropriate for PanNETs. Her work bridges technical innovation and clinical pragmatism, making her a respected voice in the evolution of oncologic surgery.
