About
Francesca Pecchini is a leading figure in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing techniques in colorectal, endocrine, and general surgery. Her major contributions center on comparative analyses that rigorously evaluate robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for procedures such as right colectomy, adrenalectomy, and thyroidectomy. Notably, her work on robotic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (44 citations) and transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (29 citations) has provided critical evidence on short-term outcomes and cosmetic benefits. Pecchini has also driven large-scale collaborative studies like the MERCY study (17 citations), which identifies predictors of surgical success, and has investigated the impact of operative duration on postoperative recovery (15 citations). Beyond clinical outcomes, she is a key voice in surgical education, co-authoring the European Robotic Surgery Consensus (ERSC) protocol (11 citations) and a systematic review on robotic training curricula (10 citations), addressing the urgent need for standardized credentialing. Her work from a high-volume center, including pluriannual experience with adrenalectomy (27 citations), underscores her role in refining indications and results for robotic surgery. Pecchini’s research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based practice and training for the next generation of surgeons.
