About

Dr. Paola De Nardi is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex pelvic floor and colon disorders. Her work has been instrumental in advancing laparoscopic and robotic approaches, particularly for conditions like transverse colon cancer and rectal prolapse. In her highly cited 2021 multicenter study (13 citations), Dr. De Nardi demonstrated the advantages of totally laparoscopic segmental transverse colectomy over open surgery, providing critical evidence for the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive approaches in this challenging anatomical region. More recently, she spearheaded the 2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (3 citations), establishing standardized guidelines for preoperative evaluation, patient selection, and procedural techniques in the treatment of rectal prolapse and pelvic floor disorders. This consensus work, published in a leading surgical journal, addresses persistent variability in clinical practice and sets a new benchmark for quality in robotic pelvic surgery. Dr. De Nardi’s contributions are shaping modern colorectal surgery, bridging the gap between innovation and evidence-based practice. Her collaborative, multicenter approach ensures her findings are widely applicable, making her a pivotal figure for students and researchers interested in the future of minimally invasive colorectal care.
