About
Marco Ramera is a pancreatic surgeon whose research has profoundly shaped the field of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS), with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches to complex pancreatic procedures. His work spans distal pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, pancreatic enucleation, and oncological outcomes in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, consistently addressing questions of safety, feasibility, and patient benefit in technically demanding surgical contexts. Among his most influential contributions is his involvement in large-scale multicentre analyses comparing robotic and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, work that has attracted over 120 citations and helped clarify the relative merits of these competing approaches. He was also a key contributor to the internationally recognized EGUMIPS guidelines (2023, 117 citations), establishing evidence-based standards for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery across Europe. His participation in the DIPLOMA-2 randomized controlled trial underscores his commitment to rigorous clinical evidence in an area still marked by debate. Ramera has additionally advanced understanding of pancreatic enucleation, demonstrating preserved quality of life at long-term follow-up. With a body of work accumulating over 550 citations, his research continues to guide surgeons worldwide in optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing some of the most challenging procedures in abdominal surgery.
