About
Caterina Froiio is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive gastrointestinal oncology, with a particular focus on esophageal and colorectal surgery. Her research centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques to improve patient outcomes in complex procedures. Froiio’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer, notably refining the intrathoracic anastomosis technique with a circular stapler. She has also provided critical insights into the surgical management of rare esophageal submucosal tumors through robotic approaches, and conducted a systematic review that redefined treatment pathways for colovesical fistula, a challenging complication of diverticulitis. Her work on the novel Medicaroid hinotori™ robotic system, evaluating its usability in a preclinical setting, positions her at the forefront of surgical innovation. With over 30 citations across her most influential papers, Froiio’s research is not only advancing technical precision but also establishing new standards of care. Her dedication to exploring emerging robotic platforms and optimizing surgical strategies makes her a vital voice in the next generation of minimally invasive surgery.
