About
Dr. Michele Grieco is a distinguished colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving outcomes for complex gastrointestinal diseases. Her major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery, particularly for challenging conditions like complicated diverticulitis. In her landmark 2018 study, she demonstrated that robotic pelvic dissection offers significant advantages over fully laparoscopic procedures in elective settings, a work that has garnered 28 citations and helped establish robotic surgery as a viable option for complex pelvic pathology. Dr. Grieco also investigates critical aspects of surgical safety, including the phenomenon of "failure to rescue" (FTR)—the inability to save a patient from postoperative complications. Her recent 2025 analysis of over 1,000 patients in a high-volume Italian center provides groundbreaking insights into how aging impacts FTR after laparoscopic colorectal surgery, revealing that elderly patients face distinct risks that require tailored perioperative management. This work, conducted at a single high-volume center, offers actionable data for improving surgical care in aging populations. Dr. Grieco’s research bridges technological innovation with patient safety, making her a leading voice in the evolution of colorectal surgery.
