About

P. Misitano is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a primary focus on colorectal surgery. His work is centered on comparing and optimizing the outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic approaches, particularly for complex procedures like right colectomy and rectal cancer treatment. A key contribution is his detailed analysis of technique and outcomes in "Laparoscopic versus robotic right colectomy" (2016, 38 citations), which provides critical comparative data for surgeons. Demonstrating his influence beyond single-institution studies, Misitano co-authored a major "Joint consensus on abdominal robotic surgery and anesthesia" (2018, 26 citations) with task forces from the SIAARTI and SIC, establishing best practices for the field. He has also addressed the evolving landscape of rectal cancer surgery, exploring how robotic technology may overcome the technical limitations of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME), as seen in his 2017 update. Through these contributions, Misitano has helped shape the evidence base guiding the adoption of robotic surgery in challenging abdominal procedures.
