About
Dr. Luca Perin is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex liver and biliary tract malignancies. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery for conditions traditionally managed with open procedures, particularly perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). In his landmark 2021 study, "Robotic hepatectomy and biliary reconstruction for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: a pioneer western case series" (48 citations), Dr. Perin challenged the standard of care by showing that robotic-assisted major hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction can achieve oncologic radicality while potentially reducing the severe morbidity and mortality—historically as high as 27.5%—associated with open surgery. This work has positioned him as a key figure in translating robotic innovation into high-stakes oncologic surgery. By systematically documenting outcomes in Western patient populations, he has provided critical evidence that expands surgical options for pCCA, a disease with notoriously poor prognosis. Dr. Perin’s research continues to shape the integration of robotics into hepatobiliary oncology, offering new hope for safer, less invasive treatment pathways.
