About
Fernando Rotellar is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, renowned for his pioneering work in minimally invasive techniques. His research primarily focuses on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex liver resections, including major hepatectomies and resections of challenging posterosuperior segments. Through a series of landmark international multicenter studies, Rotellar has provided critical evidence that robotic surgery can offer advantages over laparoscopy, such as reduced blood loss and lower conversion rates, particularly in demanding procedures like right and extended right hepatectomies. His work, which includes multiple propensity-score matched analyses, has garnered over 600 citations, with his most cited paper (2022) alone accumulating 120 citations. Beyond liver surgery, Rotellar has also contributed to the advancement of minimally invasive ventral hernia repair, notably through systematic reviews of the enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach. His rigorous comparative studies have helped define best practices and set new standards in surgical oncology, making him an influential voice in the evolution of robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
