About
Gabriele Catalano is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive liver surgery, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). His primary research areas include robotic and laparoscopic liver resections, with a strong emphasis on comparing their short-term outcomes and long-term oncologic efficacy. Catalano’s major contributions include demonstrating through propensity-matched analyses that robotic liver resection (RLR) yields comparable short-term results to laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), as shown in his 2023 study (12 citations). More notably, his 2025 investigation into recurrence and survival for very-early to early-stage HCC (BCLC 0-A) provides critical evidence supporting the non-inferior oncologic outcomes of RLR versus LLR, addressing a key gap in the literature. This work has significant implications for surgical decision-making, potentially expanding the role of robotics in HCC treatment. With a growing citation impact, Catalano is establishing himself as a key voice in hepatobiliary surgery, helping to clarify the comparative benefits of robotic approaches for improving patient outcomes.
