About

Dr. Giovanni Moschetta is a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in the management of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) and the advancement of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques. His major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the feasibility and safety of MIS for PHC, a notoriously complex procedure. His pivotal 2023 systematic review, which has already garnered 15 citations, critically analyzed short- and long-term outcomes, providing the first comprehensive evidence that MIS can be performed with acceptable oncologic results in selected patients. This work directly challenges traditional open-surgery paradigms and offers a roadmap for surgeons navigating this technically demanding field. By synthesizing data on postoperative chemotherapy integration and surgical outcomes, Dr. Moschetta has helped define the modern standard of care for PHC. His research is instrumental in bridging the gap between the rapid global adoption of laparoscopic and robotic hepatobiliary surgery and the rigorous evidence needed to support its use in the most challenging resections. For students and researchers, his work represents a cornerstone in the evolution of surgical oncology.
