About
Stefano De Pascale is an Italian surgical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive approaches to upper gastrointestinal oncology, with particular expertise in gastric surgery and esophageal procedures. His most influential contribution, a 2020 multicentre cohort study comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic resections for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), has accumulated 26 citations and stands as a meaningful reference point for surgeons navigating technique selection in this challenging space. By drawing on data from five Italian centers, De Pascale helped provide real-world comparative evidence at a time when robotic platforms were gaining traction but lacked robust outcome data. His subsequent narrative review on minimally invasive GIST treatment and a national survey conducted on behalf of the Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer (GIRCG) reflect his commitment to shaping national practice standards and synthesizing emerging evidence for the broader surgical community. More recently, his involvement in the MuMeLe 2 multicenter study on mediastinal leaks following esophagectomy demonstrates an expanding focus on postoperative complications and patient safety. Across his body of work, De Pascale consistently bridges multi-institutional collaboration with clinically urgent questions, making his research particularly valuable for trainees and specialists in upper GI surgery.
