About
B. Mattos is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic minimally invasive hepatopancreatic surgery. Operating within a highly specialized surgical niche, Mattos has made landmark contributions to the adoption and refinement of robotic techniques for complex liver and pancreatic procedures in Brazil and beyond. Notably, Mattos's team performed the first robotic pancreatic resection in Brazil in 2008, a milestone reflected in a comprehensive 2020 case series documenting 105 robotic pancreatic procedures — a testament to the systematic and institutional commitment to advancing this technology. His most-cited work (13 citations) demonstrates technical mastery in robotic resection and vascular reconstruction during pancreatoduodenectomy, while additional highly cited studies showcase expertise in challenging hepatic surgeries, including portal vein thrombectomy, caudate lobe resection, and the innovative intrahepatic Glissonian approach applied to both right and left hepatectomies. Across his body of work, Mattos consistently pushes the boundaries of what is surgically feasible robotically, contributing essential technical roadmaps for surgeons worldwide navigating complex hepatobiliary oncology cases with minimally invasive platforms.
