About

Dr. E. Vicente is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery, particularly for complex gastrointestinal and oncological procedures. A key contribution is the first reported total robotic ALPPS procedure for liver tumors, a landmark achievement in hepatobiliary surgery. Dr. Vicente has also conducted rigorous comparative studies demonstrating that robotic rectal cancer surgery yields comparable clinical outcomes to laparoscopic approaches, while offering superior cost-effectiveness in the long term. Similarly, their work on robotic-assisted gastrectomy shows it can match open resection in safety and oncologic results, with potential economic advantages. With over 170 citations across their most-cited papers, Dr. Vicente’s research has significantly shaped the evidence base for robotic surgery in colorectal, gastric, and liver oncology. Notable achievements include the first complete robotic resection of a leiomyosarcoma of the right renal vein, showcasing technical innovation in urologic oncology. Through these contributions, Dr. Vicente has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable, cost-conscious alternative to traditional approaches, improving patient recovery and surgical precision.
