About
Alessandra Cristaudi is a leading researcher in minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for liver resections and pancreatic procedures. Her major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic liver resections (RLR) through propensity-matched comparisons with laparoscopic approaches, showing comparable short-term outcomes and non-inferior oncologic results for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. She also advanced understanding of training paradigms, showing that concomitant training in robotic and laparoscopic liver resections of low-to-intermediate difficulty can flatten the learning curve. Her work on minimally-invasive versus open pancreatic enucleation, a systematic review with meta-analysis, has garnered 23 citations, underscoring its clinical impact. With over 55 total citations across her most-cited papers, Cristaudi’s research directly informs surgical decision-making and training protocols in hepatobiliary surgery. Her 2025 study on recurrence and survival after robotic vs laparoscopic resection for BCLC 0-A HCC is particularly notable for addressing a critical gap in long-term oncologic outcomes. Her findings are essential for surgeons adopting robotic platforms and for optimizing patient selection in minimally invasive liver surgery.
