About
Dr. Rita Conigliaro is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advanced, minimally invasive treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal disorders. Her major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques and diagnostic criteria for refractory GERD, demonstrating that patients with persistent symptoms—confirmed via impedance-pH monitoring—can achieve definitive relief through laparoscopic fundoplication (76 citations). She has also advanced the field of robotic surgery, comparing conventional and robot-assisted Nissen fundoplication to show improved postoperative acid reflux parameters (39 citations). In a notable achievement, Dr. Conigliaro reported the first robot-assisted transaxillary approach for Zenker diverticulectomy (8 citations), expanding the boundaries of remote-access surgery. Her work bridges the gap between precise diagnostics and innovative surgical solutions, offering patients less invasive options with better outcomes. With a career focused on elevating surgical standards through technology and evidence-based practice, Dr. Conigliaro’s research continues to shape how esophageal conditions are managed, making her a key figure in modern gastrointestinal surgery.
