About
Ugo Elmore is a leading figure in minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, with a focus on colorectal and gastric oncology. His research centers on optimizing surgical techniques for colon, rectal, and gastric cancers, particularly through laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Elmore has made significant contributions to the field of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME), as highlighted in his highly cited 2019 review on its current status and future perspectives (60 citations). He has also advanced understanding of enterotomy closure techniques in laparoscopic ileocolic anastomosis for right colon cancer, drawing from a large multicenter experience (45 citations). His work on robotic surgery’s role in patients with abdominal adhesions (24 citations) demonstrates his commitment to reducing conversion rates and improving outcomes. Elmore leads the TiMiSNAR trial, a multicenter randomized controlled study examining optimal timing of minimally invasive surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer, addressing a critical clinical debate. Through collaborative networks like SICE and GIRCG, he has shaped national standards for lymphadenectomy and minimally invasive gastric practice. With over 150 citations across his top papers, Elmore’s research directly impacts surgical decision-making and patient care in complex oncologic procedures.
