About
Gianluca Cassese is a leading figure in minimally invasive hepatobiliary and colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on advancing robotic techniques. His research centers on the safety, efficacy, and technical refinement of robotic surgery for complex conditions, including acute cholecystitis, difficult liver resections, and rectal cancer. Cassese has made major contributions by systematically demonstrating the advantages of robotic over laparoscopic approaches, notably in a 2024 meta-analysis of propensity-score matched studies on liver resections for posterosuperior segments (20 citations). His work on robotic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis (28 citations) and minimally invasive biliary anastomosis after iatrogenic bile duct injury (17 citations) has helped establish new standards of care. He has also explored oncological outcomes and quality of life after rectal cancer surgery (12 citations) and the perioperative management of resectable gallbladder cancer (11 citations). Cassese’s comprehensive classification of robotic liver parenchymal transection techniques and his investigations into fully robotic total colectomy in high-risk patients underscore his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation. With over 100 citations across his top papers, Cassese’s research is shaping the future of robotic surgery, offering safer, more effective options for patients with complex hepatobiliary and colorectal diseases.
