About
Valerio Celentano is a colorectal and minimally invasive surgeon whose research spans robotic and laparoscopic surgery, surgical education, and oncological outcomes. His most influential work examines sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery, a landmark 2017 study that has garnered 92 citations and highlights the functional consequences of pelvic procedures — a critically underexplored dimension of surgical oncology. Celentano has been a pioneering voice in surgical education reform, investigating the quality of online video resources for laparoscopic training and co-authoring an international consensus statement on standardizing educational robotic surgery videos, reflecting his commitment to advancing how the next generation of surgeons learns. His large-scale collaborative studies, including the MERCY study and multinational analyses of minimally invasive right colectomy, have shaped understanding of operative predictors, conversion risks, and the comparative merits of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches. With over 220 cumulative citations across his top ten papers, Celentano's work bridges technical innovation and patient outcomes, while his contributions to complex procedures such as robotic proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis underscore his ongoing leadership at the frontier of advanced abdominal and pelvic surgery.
