About
Dr. Adolfo Pisanu is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and potential advantages of robotic techniques for complex procedures traditionally performed via open surgery. Dr. Pisanu’s major contributions include a seminal systematic review and meta-analysis (77 citations) comparing robotic-assisted versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy, which provided crucial evidence on short-term outcomes for benign and malignant periampullary disease. He has also pioneered technical innovations, such as robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection, and rigorously evaluated the learning curve associated with this challenging operation. Through detailed technique descriptions and performance evaluations after 60 cases, he has helped establish standardized protocols that guide surgeons through the implementation of new technologies. Dr. Pisanu’s work directly addresses the critical need for safety and efficacy monitoring during surgical innovation, making him a key contributor to the evolution of robotic surgery in oncology.
