About
Isacco Damoli is a surgical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery. His research focuses primarily on laparoscopic and robotic approaches to pancreatic resection, with particular emphasis on distal pancreatectomy for conditions including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Damoli's most impactful contribution is his involvement in the landmark DIPLOMA study (2017, 280 citations), a multicenter investigation comparing minimally invasive and open distal pancreatectomy that has become a cornerstone reference for surgeons evaluating oncological outcomes in PDAC management. His early prospective single-center comparison of laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatectomy (2014, 123 citations) helped establish foundational evidence for robotic techniques at a time when data remained scarce. Through multicenter collaborations examining cohorts of up to 236 patients, Damoli has consistently demonstrated the safety and feasibility of fully robotic pancreatectomy. His review articles on minimally invasive pancreatic surgery and robotic hepatobiliary surgery further reflect his commitment to synthesizing emerging evidence for practicing surgeons. Collectively, his work has meaningfully shaped modern surgical practice and training in advanced minimally invasive abdominal surgery.
