About

Raffaele De Rosa is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on refining minimally invasive techniques for right colectomy and pancreatic surgery. His work systematically evaluates how operative variables impact patient outcomes, with a particular emphasis on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches. De Rosa’s major contributions include demonstrating through the large multinational MERCY study that specific patient and procedural factors predict surgical success in minimally invasive right colectomy. He has also provided critical evidence on how operation duration influences postoperative recovery, and shown through propensity-matched analyses that robotic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis offers comparable outcomes to laparoscopic techniques. His research on conversion to open surgery—identifying risk factors and consequences—has helped surgeons better counsel patients and plan procedures. With over 50 citations across his most influential papers, De Rosa’s work is shaping evidence-based practice in colorectal surgery. His recent development of a predictive Conversion Risk Score for minimally invasive left pancreatectomy further demonstrates his commitment to improving surgical safety and outcomes through rigorous, data-driven analysis.
