About

S. Azagra is a prominent figure in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted techniques. Their major contribution lies in advancing the standardization and safety of robotic right colectomy, a complex procedure for treating colon cancer. Azagra led the development of official expert recommendations for this surgery, published under the aegis of the French Association of Surgery (AFC) in 2022. This landmark work, which has already garnered 4 citations, provides a structured framework for surgeons, detailing optimal patient positioning, port placement, and step-by-step dissection—helping to reduce variability and improve outcomes. Beyond this, Azagra’s research has shaped best practices in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery, influencing training programs and clinical guidelines. Their work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher seeking to understand the current state of robotic colectomy, bridging the gap between innovation and reproducible clinical application.
