About
Andrea Lauterio is a prominent surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques applied to liver resection and living-donor kidney transplantation. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of robot-assisted surgery's role in complex abdominal procedures, earning him substantial recognition within the surgical community. Lauterio's contributions span two major domains. In transplant surgery, he has been instrumental in championing robotic nephrectomy for living kidney donation, tracing its evolution from hand-assisted approaches to fully robotic techniques across multiple studies dating from 2013 onward. His 2023 bicentric comparison of robotic and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy outcomes further solidified best practices for high-volume European centers. In hepatobiliary surgery, his 2021 multicentric propensity score analysis comparing pure laparoscopic and robotic liver resections — his most cited work with 71 citations — provided critical stratified evidence guiding surgical decision-making based on procedural difficulty. His systematic reviews on laparoscopic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma and his early feasibility studies on robotic liver resection in cirrhotic patients reflect a career dedicated to evidence-based adoption of emerging technologies. Collectively, his publications demonstrate a consistent commitment to improving surgical safety, refining technique, and expanding minimally invasive options for complex patients.
