About
Dr. Caterina Vivaldi is a pioneering figure in the field of hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in advanced minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic procedures. Her major contributions center on the safety and efficacy of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, particularly in cases requiring vein resection and reconstruction—a technically demanding procedure traditionally performed via open surgery. In her landmark 2024 study, which has already garnered 11 citations, Dr. Vivaldi conducted a propensity score-matched analysis demonstrating that the robotic approach can achieve comparable or superior outcomes to open surgery, challenging long-held clinical paradigms. Her work is instrumental in expanding the indications for robotic surgery, offering patients reduced morbidity without compromising oncologic integrity. Beyond this, Dr. Vivaldi’s research consistently addresses severe postoperative complications, aiming to refine surgical protocols and improve recovery. Her contributions are shaping the next generation of pancreatic surgery, making her a key voice in the ongoing evolution toward precision, minimally invasive oncologic care.
