About
Dr. Elena Panettieri is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive liver surgery, with a focused expertise in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gallbladder cancer. Her major contributions center on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly for complex liver resections. Dr. Panettieri’s landmark study, analyzing 714 patients from the IGoMILS registry, demonstrated that minimally invasive liver resection for single small HCC yields excellent short- and long-term outcomes, with 14 citations underscoring its clinical impact. She has also championed robotic surgery for gallbladder cancer, publishing a comprehensive review that establishes its feasibility and safety, garnering 8 citations. Her innovative work includes describing novel subsegmental approaches to liver segment S7—such as the anatomic laparoscopic transdiaphragmatic and nonanatomic robotic transthoracic techniques—which expand surgical options for challenging tumor locations. Additionally, her comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic resection for HCC provides critical insights into the emerging role of robotics in liver surgery. Dr. Panettieri’s research not only refines surgical practice but also sets the stage for future innovations, making her a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
