About
Roberto Peltrini is a leading figure in minimally invasive abdominal wall and colorectal surgery, whose work has significantly advanced the integration of robotic technology into complex procedures. His primary research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for ventral and inguinal hernia repairs, as well as rectal cancer surgery. Peltrini’s major contribution lies in his comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic and open approaches, particularly through his highly cited systematic review on transversus abdominis release (TAR) for ventral hernias, which garnered 74 citations and provided crucial early outcome data. He has also been instrumental in evaluating the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to enhance intraoperative vision during rectal cancer surgery, a technique that has improved surgical precision. His work on bilateral hernia repair, employing propensity score matching to compare robotic and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approaches, has been widely recognized with 29 citations. Additionally, Peltrini has explored quality of life and oncological outcomes after rectal cancer surgery, and has investigated the learning curve for robotic sleeve gastrectomy. Through these studies, he has demonstrated that robotic techniques can offer comparable or superior short-term outcomes, helping to shape modern surgical practice and guide future innovation.
