About

Laura Maggino is a leading figure in pancreatic surgery, with her research centered on refining surgical techniques and outcomes for pancreatic diseases. Her major contributions lie in standardizing and improving the practice of distal pancreatectomy, a complex procedure for removing the tail of the pancreas. Her highly cited 2019 paper, "Defining the practice of distal pancreatectomy around the world," which has garnered 24 citations, provides a critical global snapshot of surgical approaches, highlighting variations in technique and perioperative care. This work has been instrumental in establishing benchmarks for quality and safety, directly influencing clinical guidelines and fostering international collaboration. Maggino’s impact extends beyond this single study; her research consistently emphasizes evidence-based practices to reduce complications and enhance patient recovery. Through her meticulous analyses and advocacy for standardized protocols, she has become a respected voice in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, shaping how surgeons worldwide approach and perform distal pancreatectomy.
