About
Serafino Marino is a leading figure in colorectal surgery, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of right-sided colon cancer. His work centers on the critical intersection of surgical anatomy and oncologic precision, particularly in laparoscopic and robotic right hemicolectomy. Marino’s major contribution is the systematic study of anatomical variants of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), a key source of technical complications in these procedures. He spearheaded the SICE (Società Italiana di Chirurgia Endoscopica e Nuove Tecnologie) observational prospective multicenter study, published in 2024, which analyzed intraoperative data from the CoDIG 2 database (ColonDx Italian Group). This landmark research provides a crucial roadmap for surgeons, detailing SMA variations to enhance safety and reduce operative risks. While a relatively recent publication, it has already garnered 4 citations, signaling its immediate impact on surgical practice. Marino’s work is instrumental in standardizing and improving outcomes for the 40-45% of colorectal cancer patients with right-sided disease, solidifying his reputation as a key contributor to the evolution of modern, anatomy-driven colorectal surgery.
