About
Dr. Eleonora Maddalena Minerva is a leading figure in colorectal surgery, renowned for her pioneering work in intraoperative fluorescence imaging. Her research focuses on enhancing surgical precision and patient safety, particularly through the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) to assess bowel microperfusion during laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Her most-cited paper, a 2018 study on ICG-enhanced fluorescence, has garnered 18 citations and addresses the critical challenge of anastomotic leakage—a severe complication often caused by undetected microvascular impairment. By demonstrating how real-time fluorescence can reveal tissue viability invisible under white light, Dr. Minerva has provided surgeons with a powerful tool to reduce surgical risks. Her contributions have advanced evidence-based practices in colorectal surgery, directly impacting patient outcomes. Through her meticulous research, she has established herself as a key innovator in the integration of optical imaging technologies into minimally invasive surgery, offering a safer, more reliable approach to complex gastrointestinal procedures.
