About
Dr. Monica Ortenzi is a leading figure in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on right colectomy for cancer. Her research systematically investigates the factors that determine surgical success, from operative duration and patient body mass index to the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches. Through landmark multicenter studies like the MERCY study and the European CoDIG network, Dr. Ortenzi has provided critical evidence on predictors of postoperative outcomes, conversion rates, and the safety of intracorporeal anastomosis. Her work, which has garnered over 100 citations, directly addresses key clinical debates—such as the role of robotic surgery in reducing conversion risk and the optimal extent of lymphadenectomy. Beyond colorectal surgery, she has contributed to the literature on minimally invasive adrenalectomy and groin hernia repair, demonstrating a broad commitment to advancing surgical technique. Dr. Ortenzi’s research is distinguished by its large, multinational collaborative design, offering robust, practice-changing insights that help surgeons refine their operative strategies and improve patient recovery.
