About
Carlo Alberto Pacilio is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on complex pancreatic and gastric procedures. His work rigorously evaluates the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques, providing crucial evidence to guide clinical decision-making. Pacilio’s major contributions include a landmark systematic review and network meta-analysis of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy, which synthesized data from non-randomized studies to clarify the relative benefits of different surgical approaches—a study that has garnered 62 citations and remains a key reference in the field. He has also significantly advanced the understanding of robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Western populations, with a 2020 meta-analysis (30 citations) demonstrating its safety and efficacy, helping to expand its adoption beyond Eastern centers. Additionally, his work on rare pancreatic tumors, such as solid serous cystadenoma, highlights his expertise in challenging differential diagnoses. Through these high-impact syntheses, Pacilio has shaped modern surgical practice, offering clear, evidence-based pathways for optimizing patient outcomes in complex oncologic resections.
