About

Dr. Marco Brolese is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex liver and biliary tract diseases. His major contributions center on the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic liver resections, particularly for challenging patient populations. In a landmark systematic review, Dr. Brolese critically evaluated the role of robotic surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma—a notoriously difficult malignancy—highlighting its potential to reduce morbidity while maintaining oncologic rigor. His meta-analysis comparing minimally invasive versus open surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma in elderly patients demonstrated that robotic and laparoscopic approaches can offer superior short-term outcomes, including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, without compromising survival. Most notably, his decade-long analysis of 150 robotic liver resections, published in 2025, showcases the evolution of this technology, confirming its safety and effectiveness even for complex procedures. With over 16 citations across his key works, Dr. Brolese’s research provides crucial evidence supporting the integration of robotic surgery into mainstream hepatobiliary practice, offering new hope for patients facing high-risk liver surgeries.
