About
Fabrizia Calenda is a leading figure in metabolic and bariatric surgery, with a focused expertise in the evolution of minimally invasive techniques. Her research critically examines the transition from traditional laparoscopy to robotic-assisted procedures, particularly in Sleeve Gastrectomy. In her landmark 2025 study, she conducted a rigorous retrospective matched case-control comparison of Totally Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy (RSG) against the gold-standard Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) during the learning curve. This work, which has already garnered 6 citations, provides essential data on operative time differences and outcomes, directly addressing a key question in the field: whether the robotic approach offers tangible benefits during its adoption. By analyzing a prospectively maintained database, Calenda offers evidence-based insights that help surgeons navigate the learning curve of robotic surgery. Her contributions are pivotal for shaping best practices in metabolic surgery, demonstrating a commitment to rigorous comparative effectiveness research that directly impacts clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in a rapidly advancing surgical landscape.
