About
Francesco Puleo is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex liver resections. His major contributions center on the comparative analysis of laparoscopic and robot-assisted major hepatectomies, demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and potential advantages of these approaches over traditional open surgery. His landmark 2014 multi-institutional study, which has garnered over 120 citations, provided critical evidence that robotic and laparoscopic major hepatectomies can achieve comparable perioperative outcomes, helping to establish robotic surgery as a viable option in this demanding field. Beyond this seminal work, Puleo’s research continues to shape best practices in surgical oncology, emphasizing patient safety and recovery. His efforts have not only advanced surgical technique but also fostered collaboration across Italian surgical centers, making him a key contributor to the global dialogue on minimally invasive liver surgery.
