About
Michele Manigrasso is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with particular expertise in colorectal surgery, upper gastrointestinal procedures, and abdominal wall repair. His research consistently addresses one of the most clinically significant questions in modern surgery: whether robotic approaches offer meaningful advantages over established laparoscopic techniques. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Manigrasso has helped clarify outcomes in robotic Heller myotomy for achalasia (60 citations), robotic esophagectomy, and robotic cholecystectomy, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance on procedure selection. His 2019 meta-analysis on total mesorectal excision completeness in laparoscopic versus robotic rectal surgery has garnered 62 citations, reflecting its value to the colorectal surgical community. Beyond comparative studies, Manigrasso has made practical contributions to operative technique, including multicenter work on ileocolic anastomosis and transverse colectomy. His investigation into robotic surgery's role in adhesion-related conversions further demonstrates a commitment to improving safety for complex reoperative cases. Collectively, his publications have accumulated nearly 300 citations, establishing him as a meaningful contributor to the evolving evidence base guiding minimally invasive surgical practice.
