About
Francesco Lancellotti is a surgical researcher whose work is advancing the understanding of postoperative complications in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. His primary research focuses on venous thromboembolism (VTE) following major abdominal procedures, with a particular emphasis on comparing minimally invasive and open surgical approaches. In a landmark 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis, Lancellotti demonstrated that VTE risk after open hepatectomy versus minimally invasive liver resection is a critical consideration, a finding that has already garnered 8 citations and informed perioperative protocols. He extended this line of inquiry in 2024, showing that minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative VTE compared to the open approach, a study with 6 citations that challenges assumptions about the safety of advanced laparoscopic techniques. Lancellotti is also at the forefront of robotic surgery innovation, having published the first prospective case series using the Versius robotic surgical system for distal pancreatectomy. This Stage 2a IDEAL study, with 2 citations, establishes technical feasibility and lays groundwork for broader adoption of next-generation robotic platforms. His work bridges clinical outcomes and surgical innovation, making him a rising voice in evidence-based HPB surgery.
