About
Nicola Colucci is a surgical researcher focused on advancing organ transplantation and minimally invasive colorectal surgery. His primary research areas include renal transplantation, intraoperative organ preservation, and robotic pelvic floor reconstruction. Colucci’s most notable contribution is the development and preclinical evaluation of an intra-abdominal cooling device designed to mitigate second warm ischemia time during kidney transplantation. In his landmark study, "Impact of an intra-abdominal cooling device during open kidney transplantation in pigs" (2019), he demonstrated a novel approach to maintaining renal hypothermia during implantation, a critical factor in reducing postoperative dysfunction. This work, cited over a dozen times, addresses a major unmet need in deceased-donor transplantation by monitoring and controlling the harmful rewarming phase. Additionally, Colucci has contributed to colorectal surgery, as seen in his video vignette on robotic ventral re-rectopexy for symptomatic rectocele recurrence (2020), showcasing his expertise in advanced robotic techniques. His research bridges experimental innovation and clinical application, offering practical solutions to improve surgical outcomes in transplantation and pelvic floor disorders.
