Although still young, the MITIC Lab is already actively contributing to the global conversation on #Bioengineering and #ComputerAssistedSurgery, working alongside some of the leading experts in the field. We extend our gratitude to the organizers for curating such a high-level event, a truly inspiring week of scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration at the intersection of medicine and technology, and we look forward to continued collaboration in advancing the science and practice of surgical innovation. #HamlynSymposium #MedicalRobotics #SurgicalInnovation #DigitalSurgery #Endotheranostics #HorizonEurope #CLASSICA #PALPABLE #MITICLab #RoboticSurgery #AIinSurgery #ClinicalEngineering #TranslationalResearch

🎤 Honoured to co-chair, alongside Amjad Parvaiz (UK), a high-level scientific session at the 33rd @EAES_eu - European Association for Endoscopic Surgery Annual Congress in Belgrade — a vibrant forum of surgical innovation and evidence-based discussion. 🧠 A particular highlight was the presentation by Dr. Kengo Hayashi, from the University of Kanazawa (Japan) and recent Visiting Fellow at the University of Turin, who shared the results of a collaborative meta-analysis conducted with the MITIC Lab - Minimally Invasive Therapy and Innovation Center. 📊 The study addressed a pivotal question in colorectal surgery: "Does Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) improve survival in right colon cancer?" 👉 The key finding: CME improves survival only in Stage III right colon cancer, not in earlier stages — a result that will surely fuel both clinical and academic debate. 👏 Congratulations to Kengo Hayashi and the MITIC Lab - Minimally Invasive Therapy and Innovation Center team for their rigorous work and impactful contribution to surgical oncology. #EAES2025 #ColorectalSurgery #CME #SurgicalInnovation #MITICLab #EvidenceBasedSurgery #RightColonCancer #AcademicSurgery @unito @cittasalute_to @IASSS - International Association of Student Surgical Societies mitic-lab.com Complete mesocolic excision (CME) impacts survival only for Stage III right-sided colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis: Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies: Vol 33 , No 6 - Get Access @
