About

Fausto Catena is a leading figure in emergency and trauma surgery, with a research portfolio that bridges cutting-edge technology and acute care. His key contributions span fluorescence-guided hepatobiliary surgery, the emerging role of robotics in emergency settings, and the integration of artificial intelligence into surgical practice. In his highly cited 2018 work on fluorescence-guided liver tumor surgery, Catena demonstrated how advanced imaging can improve radical resection while preserving healthy parenchyma—a technique that has reshaped oncologic hepatobiliary surgery. He is also the driving force behind the ROEM study (2024), a pioneering international protocol investigating the robotic platform’s feasibility in emergency general surgery, an area traditionally dominated by open and laparoscopic approaches. Through the ARIES Project (2021), Catena conducted a global survey to assess surgeons’ knowledge and attitudes toward AI in emergency trauma, highlighting both enthusiasm and gaps in preparedness. With over 49 citations on his fluorescence-guided surgery paper alone, his work is widely referenced by surgeons and researchers. Catena’s leadership in these multicentre, prospective studies underscores his commitment to evidence-based innovation in acute care surgery.
