About

Laura Benuzzi is a surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive approaches to liver surgery, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Her most cited study, a systematic review of the past decade’s literature on laparoscopic resection for HCC, has garnered 27 citations and critically evaluates the growing evidence that laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) offers superior perioperative outcomes compared to open surgery. This work has helped clarify the evolving role of LLR in HCC management, providing a benchmark for surgeons weighing oncologic efficacy against recovery benefits. More recently, Benuzzi has turned her attention to the frontier of robotic surgery, authoring a preliminary study on the learning curve for robotic liver procedures. While still early in citation impact, this work addresses a pressing clinical question: how to safely implement robotic programs in centers with limited laparoscopic experience. By documenting her team’s initial outcomes, Benuzzi contributes practical guidance for the safe adoption of robotic techniques, a rapidly expanding field. Her research bridges established laparoscopic methods and emerging robotic technologies, offering valuable insights for surgeons navigating the transition toward more precise, less invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
