About
Chiara Parrino is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on robotic liver resections. Her major contribution lies in critically evaluating and refining the difficulty scoring systems used to assess robotic liver procedures. In her influential 2020 study, she analyzed an initial series of robotic liver resections, demonstrating that existing laparoscopic difficulty scores may not fully capture the unique challenges of the robotic approach. This work, cited 10 times, has sparked an important conversation in the surgical community about the need for a dedicated robotic difficulty score to improve preoperative planning and patient outcomes. By highlighting the advantages of robotics—such as enhanced dexterity and visualization—over traditional laparoscopy, Parrino has helped establish robotic liver surgery as a safe and effective alternative in high-volume centers. Her research continues to shape best practices, making her a key voice in the evolution of robotic-assisted hepatobiliary surgery.
