About

Claudio Fiorillo is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with particular expertise in pancreatic surgery, colorectal cancer treatment, and the emerging application of artificial intelligence to surgical practice. His most impactful contributions center on establishing the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted techniques, most notably through a landmark multicenter study of 236 patients undergoing robotic distal pancreatectomy (34 citations) and a comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (50 citations) — his most widely cited work to date. Fiorillo has also been a pioneer in robotic endoscopic procedures, demonstrating the potential to "democratize" endoscopic submucosal dissection through fully robotic systems (35 citations). His research extends to rectal cancer surgery, where he has evaluated both oncologic outcomes and single-docking robotic techniques. Notably, his 2023 work on deep learning-based privacy protection in surgical video analysis reflects a forward-thinking integration of technology and ethics. With contributions spanning clinical outcomes, patient safety, and digital innovation, Fiorillo's research meaningfully advances the evidence base for next-generation surgical care.
