About
Pierpaolo Sileri is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research has advanced minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery for pelvic floor disorders, colorectal cancer, and endometriosis. His work spans from pioneering robotic-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy for kidney transplantation (211 citations) to shaping modern approaches for rectal prolapse and pelvic floor reconstruction. Sileri has made landmark contributions through systematic reviews comparing synthetic versus biological mesh in laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (66 citations), and through comprehensive analyses of outcomes after rectosigmoid resection for endometriosis (61 citations). He led the TICRANT study (20 citations), introducing a novel transanal technique to inspect and manage low colorectal anastomoses, directly addressing the critical challenge of anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery. More recently, Sileri has driven international consensus through Delphi processes on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (2025) and surgeon-reported benefits of robotic-assisted abdominal rectopexy. His collaborative multicenter work on segmental transverse colectomy (13 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to evidence-based comparisons of laparoscopic versus open approaches. With over 385 combined citations across his most influential papers, Sileri continues to shape the future of colorectal surgery through rigorous clinical research and technological innovation.
