About

Vittoria Bellato is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research is reshaping perioperative care and advancing the field of coloproctology. Her primary focus is on optimizing surgical pathways, with a landmark contribution being the systematic review of ambulatory laparoscopic colectomies (ALC). This pivotal 2023 work, cited 34 times, rigorously assessed the feasibility and safety of discharging patients within 24 hours of colonic resection, challenging traditional recovery timelines and establishing protocols for a more efficient, patient-centered model. Beyond this, Dr. Bellato is deeply engaged in the global surgical community, as evidenced by her role in reporting on the ESCP 2021 Virtual conference. This work, capturing the society’s adaptation to a fully digital format during the pandemic, highlights her commitment to knowledge dissemination and the resilience of surgical collaboration. Through her research, Dr. Bellato is not only defining new standards for minimally invasive colorectal surgery but also demonstrating how innovation in care pathways can dramatically improve patient outcomes and resource utilization. Her work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher interested in the future of ambulatory surgery and enhanced recovery.
