About
Luigi Marano is a prominent surgical oncologist whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotics, and gastrointestinal cancer treatment. His work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of robotic-assisted approaches to complex oncological procedures, particularly gastrectomy and esophagectomy for gastric and esophageal cancers. Marano's most impactful contribution is his 2021 umbrella review comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy, which has garnered 53 citations and remains a definitive reference for surgeons evaluating these competing approaches. His clinical series from Western centers helped establish the feasibility and safety of robotic gastrectomy outside Asian populations, where much of the foundational literature originated. Notably, he pioneered the integration of 3D-printed anatomical models into surgical planning for esophagogastric junction procedures, bridging digital technology with real-world operative decision-making. Marano's leadership within TROGSS (The Robotic Global Surgical Society) and EFISDS reflects his standing in the international surgical community, having co-authored comprehensive reviews on robotic esophagectomy, perioperative immunonutrition, pancreaticobiliary maljunction, and even robotic surgery in microgravity environments. His body of work, spanning technical innovation, systematic evidence synthesis, and translational research, makes him an essential voice in the evolving landscape of surgical oncology.
