About
Pietro Addeo is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotic and minimally invasive surgery. His research spans hepatobiliary, pancreatic, bariatric, and adrenal surgery, with a particular focus on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and clinical advantages of robot-assisted techniques across some of the most technically demanding procedures in abdominal surgery. Addeo's most influential contributions emerged from his single-surgeon experience with robotic pancreatic and liver surgery. His 2010 paper on robot-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic surgery has accumulated 384 citations, while his landmark study on robotic liver resections — reporting outcomes for 70 cases — has garnered over 300. These works were instrumental in legitimizing robotic platforms for complex hepatopancreatobiliary operations at a time when evidence remained scarce. Beyond the operating room, Addeo has consistently pushed boundaries by tackling high-risk subgroups, including elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and super-morbidly obese patients requiring sleeve gastrectomy. His comparative studies between robotic and open approaches have provided critical benchmarks for the surgical community. With a body of work totaling over 1,500 citations across ten key studies alone, Addeo stands as a defining voice in the evolution of modern robotic surgery.
