About
Marco Colasanti is a hepatobiliary surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive liver and biliary surgery. His research focuses primarily on laparoscopic and robotic approaches to complex hepatic resections, with particular emphasis on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma, and surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Colasanti's contributions span both technical innovation and outcomes research. His early work establishing robotic liver surgery at a tertiary hepatobiliary unit (2015, 27 citations) helped lay groundwork for wider adoption of the technology, while his state-of-the-art review of minimally invasive approaches to HCC (2016, 32 citations) provided clinicians with a critical synthesis of emerging evidence. His landmark international multicenter studies examining open conversion risk across thousands of procedures — encompassing both major and minor hepatectomies — represent some of his most impactful contributions, informing surgical decision-making globally. With accumulated citations exceeding 200 across his top papers, Colasanti has established himself as a credible voice in the international minimally invasive hepatobiliary community. His involvement in the Italian I Go MILS registry further demonstrates his commitment to systematic data collection, quality benchmarking, and collaborative surgical research.
