About
Dr. Leonardo Centonze is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgery, with a focus on robotic-assisted techniques for organ transplantation and liver resection. His work is pivotal in advancing robotic donor nephrectomy (RDN) as a viable alternative to the gold-standard laparoscopic approach. In a key 2023 study comparing RDN to laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) across two high-volume European centers, Dr. Centonze demonstrated comparable surgical outcomes and learning curves, contributing to the growing adoption of robotics in living kidney donation. His research extends to hepatobiliary surgery, where he has established novel benchmark cutoffs for robotic liver resection (R-LR) and led a multicenter study defining international benchmarks for robotic right hepatectomy. With over 50 citations across his most-cited works, including a 2025 multicenter analysis of 647 patients comparing robotic vs. laparoscopic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, Dr. Centonze’s contributions are shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery. His work not only validates robotic techniques but also sets new standards for safety and efficacy, making him a key innovator in bridging tradition with technological advancement.
