About
Sara Maria Tosato is a leading figure in the evolution of minimally invasive colorectal surgery, with her research focused on advancing robotic techniques for cancer treatment. Her most cited work, a 2018 study with 54 citations, meticulously documents the progression from laparoscopic right colectomy with extracorporeal anastomosis to hybrid robot-assisted and finally to totally robotic intracorporeal anastomosis. This seminal paper highlights her major contribution: demonstrating how robotic platforms overcome the technical limitations of laparoscopic surgery, particularly in complex multiquadrant abdominal procedures. Tosato’s research has been instrumental in proving that fully robotic intracorporeal anastomosis offers superior outcomes, including reduced recovery times and fewer complications, compared to traditional methods. Her work has helped establish new standards in surgical oncology, directly influencing how surgeons approach right colectomies for cancer. By systematically comparing these evolving techniques, Tosato has provided the evidence base needed for the widespread adoption of robotic surgery, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in the field. Her ongoing contributions continue to shape the future of minimally invasive surgical care.
