About
Simona Giuratrabocchetta is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in colorectal oncology, pelvic floor disorders, and abdominal wall reconstruction. Her research has meaningfully advanced understanding of robotic approaches to complex procedures, including total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer, rectal prolapse repair, and right colectomy with complete mesocolic excision — techniques demanding exceptional precision and anatomical knowledge. Among her most influential contributions are two 2021 update reviews on robotic rectal prolapse treatment and robotic TME for rectal cancer, together accumulating over 20 citations and serving as key reference points for surgeons navigating these technically demanding fields. Her 2023 study on robotic abdominal wall reconstruction, drawing on 150 consecutive cases, has already garnered 10 citations, reflecting the timeliness and clinical relevance of her work in hernia repair. A distinctive thread running through Giuratrabocchetta's research is her interest in surgical training and learning curves, as evidenced by her case-matched analysis comparing senior and junior surgeons in robotic colectomy. With a growing body of work spanning oncological resection, functional surgery, and reconstruction, she represents an important voice in the evolution of robotic surgical practice.
