About
Bianca Pacilio is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advanced surgical techniques for pancreatic cancer, particularly locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (LA-PDAC). Her major contributions center on refining complex procedures like the Appleby operation—distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR)—to improve outcomes for patients with tumors involving the pancreatic body and neck. In her highly cited 2025 work, Pacilio introduced intraoperative celiac axis flow measurement as a dynamic strategy to guide surgical decision-making during robotic distal pancreatectomy, demonstrating how real-time hemodynamic assessment can enhance safety and precision in these challenging resections. Her case study of a 75-year-old female patient exemplifies her commitment to translating innovative techniques into clinical practice, with the paper already garnering 2 citations shortly after publication. Pacilio’s research bridges the gap between complex anatomy and surgical innovation, offering new pathways for treating LA-PDAC. Her work is particularly impactful for surgeons and researchers seeking to expand the boundaries of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery while maintaining oncologic rigor.
