About

Daniele Pezzati is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly comparing robotic and laparoscopic liver resections. His most cited work, a 2025 study on recurrence and survival after robotic versus laparoscopic liver resection in very-early to early-stage HCC (BCLC 0-A), has already garnered 6 citations, demonstrating its immediate impact on the field. Pezzati’s major contribution lies in rigorously testing the hypothesis that robotic liver resection (RLR) yields non-inferior oncologic outcomes compared to laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), addressing a critical gap in evidence for early-stage HCC management. By analyzing recurrence patterns and survival rates, his work provides surgeons with data-driven guidance on selecting the optimal minimally invasive approach, potentially improving patient outcomes while expanding the role of robotics in hepatobiliary surgery. His research is particularly valuable for clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of HCC treatment, where balancing oncologic efficacy with surgical innovation is paramount. Pezzati’s findings help establish benchmarks for future comparative studies and contribute to the broader adoption of robotic techniques in liver surgery.
