About

Marco Massani is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on hepatobiliary and pancreatic procedures. His work has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of mini-invasive surgery in Italy, primarily through the establishment and analysis of large-scale national registries. Massani’s major contributions include pioneering telerobotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as demonstrated in his early work on 29 patients, and more recently, spearheading the I Go MILS and IGOMIPS registries. These initiatives have provided critical, real-world data on the dissemination and outcomes of minimally invasive pancreatic resections (MIPR), with his 2023 analysis of 1,191 cases—including 668 distal pancreatectomies and 435 pancreatoduodenectomies—offering a comprehensive snapshot of daily surgical practice. His registry-based research, which has garnered over 30 citations, serves as a vital tool for benchmarking, quality improvement, and networking among surgeons. By systematically documenting the adoption and results of these advanced techniques, Massani has not only enhanced clinical understanding but also fostered a collaborative community dedicated to refining surgical care.
