About
Luca Landoni is a leading pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for pancreatic surgery, particularly distal pancreatectomy and pancreatic enucleation. His major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches, demonstrating through rigorous propensity score-matched studies that robotic distal pancreatectomy offers comparable or superior outcomes for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) while preserving quality of life. Landoni’s landmark 2020 study on cost-effectiveness and quality of life after laparoscopic versus robotic distal pancreatectomy has garnered 67 citations, underscoring its influence. He has also pioneered the endoscopic placement of pancreatic stents for deep enucleations (54 citations) and shown that pancreatic enucleation patients maintain quality of life equivalent to the general population at long-term follow-up (32 citations). Drawing on over 20 years of experience with 401 consecutive minimally invasive distal pancreatectomies, Landoni has refined surgical teaching through dual-console robotic platforms. His ongoing work includes the DP-ROM trial, which quantitatively compares ergonomic stress between laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches. Based at Verona University Hospital, Landoni’s research continues to shape best practices in pancreatic surgery, balancing oncologic radicality with functional preservation.
