About

Adolfo Petrina is a pioneering figure in the field of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a specialized focus on advancing robotic techniques for complex gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary procedures. His research centers on overcoming the technical limitations of traditional laparoscopy by developing and refining robotic-assisted surgeries for high-risk cancers. Dr. Petrina’s major contributions include the standardization of robotic total gastrectomy with intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis, a technique that enhances precision and reproducibility in gastric cancer treatment. His work on robotic pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy addresses one of the most technically demanding operations in abdominal surgery, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches where open surgery was once the only option. With his most-cited paper garnering 19 citations and another key study accumulating 8, his impact is evident in the surgical community’s growing adoption of these advanced methods. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic technology, Dr. Petrina has not only improved patient outcomes but also paved the way for future innovations in surgical oncology, making him a respected authority in the field.
