About
Dr. Germano Mariano is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex liver and bile duct cancers. His most cited work, a 2023 systematic review on minimally invasive surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC), has garnered 15 citations and critically evaluates the short- and long-term outcomes of this technically demanding procedure. Dr. Mariano’s major contribution lies in systematically assessing the feasibility and safety of MIS for PHC, a disease traditionally treated with open surgery and postoperative systemic chemotherapy. By synthesizing evidence from global studies, he has helped define the current role and limitations of laparoscopic and robotic approaches in this high-risk patient population. His research directly impacts clinical decision-making, offering surgeons a clearer framework for patient selection and operative planning. Beyond this landmark review, Dr. Mariano’s work continues to push the boundaries of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, aiming to reduce recovery times and complications without compromising oncologic outcomes. His scholarship is essential reading for trainees and specialists seeking to understand the evolving landscape of surgical management for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
