About
Renato Micelli Lupinacci is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic colorectal and bariatric surgery. His research has made significant contributions to understanding the comparative outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and transanal approaches to complex procedures, particularly total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer and right colectomy. His landmark 2017 single-center analysis comparing robotic and laparoscopic rectal resection for sphincter-saving surgery has garnered over 80 combined citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. Lupinacci has also led and contributed to large-scale European multicenter studies — including the MERCY study and propensity score-matched analyses — examining predictors of surgical outcomes, the impact of operative duration, and the consequences of conversion to open surgery. His 2024 multicentre TME comparison across three minimally invasive platforms reflects his growing international collaborative reach. Additionally, his work on the robotic learning curve for surgeons transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic right colectomy provides valuable practical guidance for training programs. With nearly 200 total citations across his most impactful publications, Lupinacci's body of work is shaping evidence-based practice in modern surgical oncology.
