About
Claudia Lorenzo is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) and reducing postoperative complications in high-risk patients. Her major contributions center on mitigating biliary fistulas—a dangerous complication occurring in 3–8% of pancreaticoduodenectomy patients—particularly in those with bile ducts ≤5 mm. Lorenzo has demonstrated that biodegradable biliary stents significantly reduce biliary complications in high-risk anastomoses, with her 2024 study on this technique already garnering 4 citations. She also developed the PD-ROBOSCORE, a novel system to stratify surgical difficulty, and proved that RPD is non-inferior to open surgery even in patients with high scores. Her work on warm and cold ischemia effects on pancreatic specimens has further refined surgical protocols. With over 9 citations across her most recent papers, Lorenzo is establishing herself as a leading voice in minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. Her research directly addresses the field’s most pressing challenge: making complex robotic procedures safer for the highest-risk patients.
