About
Marcel Autran C. Machado is a pioneering hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery. His primary research areas focus on laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex pancreatic and liver resections, including pancreatoduodenectomy, central pancreatectomy, and hepatectomy. Dr. Machado’s major contributions include establishing evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive pancreas resection, as evidenced by his landmark 2019 paper in *Annals of Surgery* (478 citations), which set global standards for the field. He has also been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic approaches for challenging procedures such as hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection and the ALPPS technique for liver tumors. With a career spanning over two decades, his work has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible laparoscopically and robotically, from enucleation to complex vascular reconstructions using bovine pericardial grafts. His international multicenter study on the learning curve for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (2024) provides crucial guidance for surgical training. Dr. Machado’s prolific output, including numerous video-illustrated techniques, has made him a leading authority in robotic HPB surgery, directly impacting patient outcomes and surgical education worldwide.
