About
Isacco Maretto is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for rectal cancer, particularly total mesorectal excision (TME). His major contribution lies in rigorously comparing robotic, transanal, and laparoscopic approaches to TME through high-impact, multicentre studies. His most cited work, a 2024 European multicentre, propensity score-matched study, provides critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of these three techniques for locally advanced mid/low rectal cancer, helping to guide surgical decision-making in complex cases. With 24 citations already, this paper underscores his role in shaping modern colorectal oncology. Maretto’s research is distinguished by its emphasis on real-world, multi-institutional data, offering actionable insights for surgeons worldwide. His work not only advances surgical precision but also prioritizes patient outcomes, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery. For students and researchers, Maretto exemplifies how comparative effectiveness research can translate into improved clinical practice.
