About
Federico Aucejo is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the evolution of minimally invasive liver surgery. His research centers on the technical refinement and clinical validation of laparoscopic and robotic approaches for complex hepatic procedures, including living donor hepatectomy. Aucejo’s landmark 2010 study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic liver tumour resection (180 citations) provided early, critical evidence that robotic techniques could match the safety and efficacy of traditional laparoscopy, helping to legitimize robotic platforms in hepatobiliary surgery. He further advanced the field by analyzing large institutional series, including a 203-case review of laparoscopic liver resections and a comprehensive 500-case analysis that charted the maturation of a North American program, identifying strategies to overcome technical stagnation. Notably, his work on living donor robotic right hepatectomy has sparked essential debate about the future of transplantation, balancing innovation against safety. With a career dedicated to methodically documenting the learning curve and outcomes of minimally invasive techniques, Aucejo has been instrumental in moving liver surgery toward less invasive paradigms, influencing both surgical practice and training worldwide.
