About

Alfonso Lapergola is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex pancreatic resections. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and reproducibility of robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) through large-scale, multicenter analyses. His landmark 2019 study, "Full Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy: Safety and Feasibility Analysis of a Multicenter Cohort of 236 Patients," with 34 citations, provided critical evidence supporting the widespread adoption of RDP by showing favorable outcomes in a substantial patient cohort. More recently, Lapergola has refined surgical techniques for minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy, as detailed in his 2023 work on end-to-end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy, which addresses a key technical challenge in this demanding procedure. His work is instrumental in establishing standardized, safer approaches to robotic pancreatic surgery, directly impacting surgical training and patient outcomes. Through his meticulous technical descriptions and robust clinical data, Lapergola continues to shape the evolution of pancreatic surgery toward less invasive, more precise interventions.
