About
Antonio Gangemi is a surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and hepatobiliary and pancreatic procedures. His research has fundamentally advanced the standardization and adoption of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD), most notably through his widely cited 17-step operative technique developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago — a contribution that has garnered over 74 citations and serves as a practical roadmap for surgeons worldwide. Building on the pioneering first robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy performed in 2001, Gangemi has been instrumental in refining and disseminating this complex procedure, including demonstrating its safety in elderly patients over 70 years of age. His influential work on indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in robotic hepatobiliary surgery has helped reshape intraoperative visualization and reduce complications such as open conversion during cholecystectomy. Gangemi has also contributed meaningfully to bariatric surgery, achalasia management, and obesity-related chronic kidney disease. With a body of work spanning systematic reviews, comparative studies, and educational surgical videos, his cumulative impact — exceeding 460 citations — marks him as a leading voice in advancing the safety, reproducibility, and global uptake of robotic surgical platforms.
