About

Paolo Bianchi is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a primary focus on its application in thoracic and colorectal oncology. His work is centered on refining minimally invasive techniques to improve oncologic outcomes and patient recovery. Bianchi’s major contributions include pioneering the use of robotic lobectomy for lung cancer, as detailed in his foundational 2011 paper, which has garnered 14 citations and helped establish a standard for the procedure. More recently, he has been at the forefront of complex pelvic surgery, leading the international, multicentre ALRITE study (2025) to analyze local recurrence after robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, a critical investigation into long-term oncologic efficacy. Demonstrating his role as a consensus-builder, Bianchi also spearheaded the 2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy, standardizing preoperative evaluation and surgical techniques for pelvic floor disorders. With his work accumulating over 20 citations and shaping clinical guidelines, Bianchi is recognized for driving the evidence-based adoption of robotic platforms, directly improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in high-stakes cancer and reconstructive procedures.
