About
Fabrizio Panaro stands at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic hepatopancreatic surgery, establishing himself as a pivotal figure in advancing surgical innovation worldwide. His research has focused primarily on robotic liver resection, robotic pancreatic surgery, and the clinical and economic optimization of minimally invasive techniques — areas where his contributions have helped shape international practice standards. Panaro's most impactful work includes co-authoring the landmark 2018 and 2023 International Consensus Statements on robotic hepatectomy, which together have garnered over 300 citations and provided the field with critically needed evidence-based guidance on safety, feasibility, and efficacy. His early 2007 report on robotic distal pancreatectomy for living donor transplantation (46 citations) demonstrated remarkable surgical ambition, while his 2011 work on robotic liver resection as a bridge to transplantation helped pioneer entirely new clinical pathways. His comparative cost-effectiveness analysis of distal pancreatectomy approaches further reflects his commitment to practical, patient-centered research. Most recently, Panaro has turned to standardization through benchmark development for robotic liver resection, ensuring that surgical progress is matched by rigorous quality metrics. His body of work reflects a consistent mission: making complex surgery safer, reproducible, and accessible to patients globally.
