About
Paolo Ascenzi is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on improving surgical outcomes for rectal cancer patients, with a particular focus on preventing and managing anastomotic leakage—one of the most serious complications following low colorectal surgery. His major contribution is the development and validation of the TICRANT technique, a novel method for transanal inspection and management of low colorectal anastomoses. The landmark TICRANT study (2017, 20 citations) prospectively demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this approach, establishing a new standard for intraoperative assessment and reducing postoperative leak rates. Beyond this, Ascenzi has advanced minimally invasive surgical protocols and enhanced perioperative care pathways. His work is widely cited by colorectal surgeons and has been integrated into clinical guidelines, reflecting its practical impact on patient safety. Ascenzi’s research bridges technical innovation with rigorous clinical evidence, making him a respected figure in surgical oncology and a key resource for trainees seeking to understand modern strategies for complex pelvic surgery.
