About
Domenico Guarrasi is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic surgery. His research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques for complex liver and pancreatic procedures, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted approaches. Guarrasi’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic right hepatectomy, as detailed in his highly cited 2018 comparative study (35 citations), which provided the first technical descriptions of the robotic technique. He further expanded the evidence base with a case-matched comparison of robotic-assisted versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (30 citations), showing improved outcomes for the robotic approach. Notably, Guarrasi also pioneered the robotic-assisted repair of iatrogenic common bile duct injuries (25 citations), a challenging complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. His work on robotic resection of the liver caudate lobe (18 and 14 citations) has established new technical standards for this anatomically complex region. Through these studies, Guarrasi has demonstrated that robotic surgery can achieve outcomes comparable to or better than traditional open and laparoscopic methods, helping to establish robotic hepatobiliary surgery as a viable and increasingly preferred option for patients.
