About
Federica Cipriani is a leading surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive hepatopancreatic and biliary surgery, with particular expertise in laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques. Her work has fundamentally shaped how surgeons approach complex abdominal procedures, with contributions spanning pancreatic resection, liver surgery, and biliary tumor management. Cipriani's most celebrated achievement is her central role in developing the Miami International Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection (2019), which has accumulated nearly 480 citations and represents a landmark consensus effort to standardize practice globally. Her comparative outcomes research, including the influential DIPLOMA study on minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (280 citations), has provided critical oncological evidence guiding real-world surgical decision-making. Her prolific contributions to robotic liver surgery are equally significant. Through multiple large-scale propensity-matched and multicenter analyses, she has systematically compared robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomies across varying complexity levels and anatomical settings, helping define the appropriate role of each platform. Her work on posterosuperior liver segments and right posterior section resections has been particularly impactful in advancing access to technically demanding procedures. Across her career, Cipriani has established herself as an authoritative voice in evidence-based minimally invasive surgery.
