About

Dr. Veronica Grassi is a pioneering surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic pancreatic and gastric surgery. Her research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques, particularly for complex procedures like distal pancreatectomy and total gastrectomy. Dr. Grassi’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and reproducibility of robotic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, notably through the Warshaw technique, and pioneering intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis for total gastrectomy. Her most cited papers, including “Robotic distal pancreatectomy with or without preservation of spleen” and “Robotic Total Gastrectomy With Intracorporeal Robot-Sewn Anastomosis,” have each garnered 19 citations, underscoring their influence on surgical practice. Beyond technical innovation, Dr. Grassi has highlighted the broader implications of pancreatic conditions, such as in her report on a road accident caused by a pancreatic insulinoma, showcasing her commitment to patient safety and diagnostic awareness. Her work has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable, less invasive alternative in challenging oncologic cases, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern surgical oncology.
