About
Carlo Milli is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic surgery, with a particular focus on thoracic oncology and complex hepatopancreatobiliary procedures. His work is distinguished by a rigorous, evidence-based approach to evaluating the clinical and economic value of cutting-edge surgical technology. Dr. Milli co-organized the First International Workshop on Robotic Surgery in Thoracic Oncology (2016, 27 citations), a landmark event that convened experts from France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to standardize techniques and explore applications in lung cancer treatment. His major contributions include pioneering cost-effectiveness analyses that challenge assumptions about robotic surgery. In a 2021 case-matched study (18 citations), he demonstrated that robotic distal pancreatectomy can be cost-competitive with direct manual laparoscopy when accounting for reduced complications. Similarly, his analysis of robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy with the da Vinci Xi (17 citations) showed that the higher upfront costs of the robotic approach can be offset by superior clinical outcomes, including shorter hospital stays. By bridging the gap between surgical innovation and healthcare economics, Carlo Milli provides crucial insights for hospitals and policymakers weighing the adoption of advanced robotic platforms.
