About
Dr. Tommaso Nelli is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastrointestinal cancers, particularly gastric and colorectal malignancies. His most impactful work, a 2019 matched cohort study with 79 citations, demonstrated the clinical value of indocyanine green fluorescent lymphography during robotic gastrectomy. This landmark contribution provided robust evidence that real-time lymphatic mapping enhances the precision of lymphadenectomy, potentially improving oncologic outcomes while reducing complications. Dr. Nelli also plays a pivotal role in shaping surgical standards through large-scale collaborative research. As a key investigator in the SICE network's CoDIG 2 study, he is helping define the optimal approach to right colon lymphadenectomy in Italy, addressing the critical debate between D2 and D3 dissection. His work bridges the gap between Eastern and Western surgical philosophies, translating Japanese D3 lymphadenectomy principles into European practice. By combining advanced robotic platforms with fluorescent imaging, Dr. Nelli is at the forefront of precision oncologic surgery, directly improving patient outcomes through evidence-based refinements in technique.
