About
Luca Aldrighetti is a leading surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive liver surgery, with a particular focus on comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open hepatectomy techniques. Based at the forefront of hepatobiliary surgery, Aldrighetti has made landmark contributions to understanding how emerging surgical technologies perform across varying levels of procedural complexity and clinical settings. His most influential work — a 2020 systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open hepatectomy (119 citations) — helped establish an evidence base for adoption of minimally invasive approaches in liver surgery. Subsequent studies examining difficulty scoring systems, posterosuperior segment resections, and major hepatectomies have further refined surgical decision-making frameworks, collectively accumulating hundreds of citations and shaping international practice guidelines. Aldrighetti has also championed collaborative, large-scale research through foundational roles in the Italian Group of Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery (IGoMILS) registry and pan-European surgical surveys, helping map the real-world implementation of minimally invasive liver surgery across diverse healthcare systems. His rigorous use of propensity-score matching and multicenter datasets lends particular methodological strength to his comparative analyses. For students and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of hepatic surgery, Aldrighetti's body of work represents an essential and authoritative reference.
