About
Cristina Carpenito is a pioneering surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Her research centers on the application of fully robotic techniques—particularly using the da Vinci Xi system—for complex procedures traditionally performed via open surgery. Carpenito’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of full-robotic pancreatoduodenectomies, as evidenced by her landmark analysis of the first 50 consecutive cases performed by a single surgeon without conversion, which has already garnered 7 citations. She has also advanced the field of robotic hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction for challenging Bismuth type III and IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma, providing a state-of-the-art review that highlights the potential of robotic-assisted surgery in these high-stakes settings. Her comparative study on delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy further underscores her commitment to improving postoperative outcomes. With a growing citation record and a focus on high-volume, tertiary referral center practice, Carpenito is establishing herself as a key voice in the robotic surgery revolution, offering hope for safer, less invasive options for patients with complex hepatopancreatobiliary diseases.
