About

G Palazzini is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive and robotic surgery for gastrointestinal oncology, with a particular focus on gastric and colorectal cancers. His work has been pivotal in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and oncological efficacy of robotic approaches compared to traditional laparoscopic and open surgery. In a landmark 2017 study (100 citations), Palazzini provided a rigorous, propensity score-matched comparison of robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy, establishing a benchmark for surgical outcomes. He has also made significant contributions to the emerging field of "navigation surgery," pioneering the use of fluorescence image-guided lymphadenectomy with indocyanine green and near-infrared technology during robotic gastrectomy (2018). His expertise extends to technical innovation, as evidenced by his work on totally intracorporeal reconstructive techniques after robotic total gastrectomy and his multidimensional analysis of the learning curve for robotic right hemicolectomy (77 citations). With over 200 combined citations, Palazzini’s research not only refines surgical technique but also explores the broader implications of technology spreading in healthcare, marking him as a key architect of the modern, technology-driven surgical era.
