About

Dr. Nadia Russolillo is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a research focus centered on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for liver resections. Her work directly addresses the critical question of whether the higher costs of robotic surgery translate into superior patient outcomes. Dr. Russolillo’s major contributions include landmark, large-scale comparative studies that provide robust, evidence-based insights. Her 2024 paper, which has garnered 76 citations, systematically compares robotic and laparoscopic liver surgery across various clinical settings, offering a nuanced view of their respective advantages. She further solidified her impact with a 2025 multicenter, propensity-score matched analysis of 647 hepatocellular carcinoma patients, demonstrating her commitment to rigorous, high-volume data. Beyond these comparative trials, Dr. Russolillo has been instrumental in the "I Go MILS" registry, a decade-long Italian initiative that has become a vital tool for disseminating best practices and fostering a collaborative network in minimally invasive liver surgery. Her work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher navigating the evolving landscape of robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
