About
Simone Vani is a leading researcher in hepatobiliary surgery, specializing in the impact of liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and tumor characteristics on the outcomes of minimally invasive liver resections. His work systematically evaluates how these factors influence the difficulty and safety of laparoscopic and robotic procedures for primary liver malignancies and colorectal liver metastases. In a landmark 2023 study (19 citations), Vani demonstrated that the severity of cirrhosis and portal hypertension significantly complicates major liver resections, providing crucial risk stratification for surgeons. He further analyzed over 10,000 patients in a 2024 multicenter study (10 citations), identifying key predictors of open conversion during minor resections. Vani’s research extends to the posterosuperior liver segments and the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, offering evidence-based guidance for patient selection and surgical planning. His international collaborative studies, each garnering 4–19 citations, have shaped current understanding of how underlying liver disease affects minimally invasive surgical outcomes, directly improving preoperative decision-making and patient safety.
