About
Fabio Sbrana is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. His research focuses on expanding the boundaries of robotic technology to perform complex procedures across multiple organ systems, including hepatobiliary, pancreatic, renal, and bariatric surgery. Sbrana’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches for traditionally high-risk operations, such as extended right hepatectomies with biliary reconstruction and middle pancreatectomies. His landmark papers, including "Robot-assisted laparoscopic pancreatic surgery" (384 citations) and "Robotic liver surgery: Results for 70 resections" (301 citations), have provided foundational evidence for the adoption of robotic techniques in these challenging areas. He also pioneered robotic transabdominal kidney transplantation in morbidly obese patients (191 citations) and developed innovative solutions for single-incision cholecystectomy using robotic single-site technology (118 citations). By consistently reporting on complex cases—from splenic artery aneurysms to retroperitoneal Castleman’s disease—Sbrana has established himself as a key figure in proving that robotic surgery can achieve outcomes comparable to or better than traditional open or laparoscopic approaches, significantly influencing modern surgical practice.
