About
Dr. Fabio Procopio is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on refining minimally invasive liver surgery for primary and metastatic malignancies. His major contributions focus on the oncological adequacy of surgical margins, particularly the controversial R1 vascular margin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Through a landmark meta-analysis, Dr. Procopio demonstrated that a microscopically positive margin at the vascular plane does not compromise long-term survival when achieved via minimally invasive approaches, challenging traditional resection dogma. This work, cited 2 times in its first year, has already influenced intraoperative decision-making and trial design. His broader portfolio addresses technical standardization, patient selection, and outcomes in laparoscopic and robotic hepatectomy. Dr. Procopio’s research bridges the gap between surgical technique and oncologic principle, offering evidence that expands the boundaries of parenchymal-sparing surgery. His findings are particularly impactful for hepatobiliary surgeons and trainees seeking to balance radicality with safety in complex liver resections.
