About
Roberta Menghi is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive pancreatic and colorectal surgery. Her primary research focuses on the safety, feasibility, and oncologic outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex abdominal cancers, with a particular emphasis on pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and rectal cancer. Menghi’s landmark multicenter study comparing robot-assisted versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for pNETs (50 citations) has provided critical evidence on short- and long-term outcomes, helping to guide surgical decision-making. She also led a large multicenter cohort of 236 patients demonstrating the safety of full robotic distal pancreatectomy (34 citations), and contributed to the national IGOMIPS registry, which analyzed over 1,100 minimally invasive pancreatic resections across Italy. Her work extends to geriatric surgery, where she highlighted the importance of “biological age” in pancreaticoduodenectomy outcomes for octogenarians (23 citations). Through her investigations of single-docking robotic techniques for rectal cancer, Menghi has advanced the adoption of robotic surgery in oncology. Her cumulative research, cited over 150 times, is instrumental in defining best practices for minimally invasive pancreatic and rectal resections.
