About
Maria Paula Corzo is a rising leader in surgical innovation, whose work bridges the frontiers of robotic surgery, perioperative care, and metabolic oncology. Her research focuses on three pivotal areas: the implementation and assessment of robotic surgical programs, the role of immunonutrition in improving outcomes for gastrointestinal cancer patients, and the intersection of bariatric surgery with colorectal cancer risk. Corzo’s major contributions include the development of the novel Competency-Based Assessment of Robotic Surgery Skills (CARS) scale, a tool designed to standardize and objectively evaluate robotic proficiency among general surgery residents. She has also led comprehensive umbrella reviews demonstrating that perioperative immunonutrition can significantly reduce postoperative complications in GI oncology, with her 2025 meta-analysis already garnering 9 citations. Her work on the feasibility of robotic cholecystectomy at academic centers, supported by a retrospective cohort study and umbrella review (5 citations), provides critical evidence for safely expanding robotic programs. Additionally, her bibliometric analysis of robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery (4 citations) maps the global research landscape in this rapidly evolving field. As an active member of TROGSS—The Robotic Global Surgical Society, Corzo is shaping evidence-based practices that enhance surgical safety, training, and patient outcomes.
