Cristiano Guidetti

About

Cristiano Guidetti is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. His research focuses on advancing robotic techniques for complex oncologic procedures, particularly for gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver transplantation. Guidetti’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and oncologic efficacy of robotic liver resection for HCC, as evidenced by his highly cited 2022 study (138 citations) comparing robotic versus open approaches. He also led the largest meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (206 citations), establishing benchmarks for minimally invasive gastric surgery. Notably, Guidetti reported the first European series of full robotic whole-graft liver transplantation (2024), a groundbreaking achievement in transplant surgery. His work on standardizing learning curve assessment in minimally invasive liver surgery provides essential frameworks for training future surgeons. With over 500 total citations, Guidetti’s research consistently addresses critical questions in surgical oncology—from comparative effectiveness to technical feasibility—making him a leading voice in the safe adoption of robotic surgery for complex liver and pancreatic diseases.
