About
P Calabrese is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic metabolic and colorectal surgery, whose work is reshaping minimally invasive operative standards. Their primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic techniques, with major contributions in bariatric surgery and complex colorectal procedures. In a landmark 2025 study, Calabrese conducted the first retrospective matched case–control comparison of Totally Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy (RSG) against Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) during the learning curve, demonstrating that while laparoscopy remains the gold standard, robotic approaches offer distinct advantages that justify their adoption. This work, already cited 6 times, provides crucial benchmarks for operative time and outcomes. Additionally, Calabrese developed a hybrid robotic approach for proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), a definitive treatment for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis, showing that robotic surgery can enhance precision in the pelvic dissection. With 4 citations, this innovation addresses a critical gap in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. Calabrese’s research is notable for its rigorous methodology and practical focus on surgical education, offering a roadmap for integrating robotics into mainstream practice while maintaining patient safety. Their work continues to influence both clinical protocols and training curricula.
