About

Ilenia Bartolini is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic approaches to complex abdominal oncology, with a particular focus on pancreatic and hepatic surgery. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding and management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs), exploring the delicate balance between surgical intervention and watchful observation for these often-indolent lesions — a contribution that has garnered 46 citations and shaped contemporary clinical decision-making. Bartolini has been instrumental in championing robotic and laparoscopic techniques as viable alternatives to traditional open surgery, demonstrating their feasibility for challenging procedures including pancreatic enucleations, distal pancreatectomies, rectal resections, and liver surgery. Her 2018 work on ultrasound-guided robotic enucleation of PanNETs highlights her commitment to precision and organ-preservation, while her investigations into the Pringle maneuver within robotic liver surgery reflect a dedication to improving intraoperative safety. With a body of work spanning over a decade and citations accumulating across multiple high-impact studies, Bartolini's research has meaningfully influenced how surgeons approach minimally invasive oncological procedures, offering patients reduced perioperative risk without compromising oncological outcomes.
