About

Marco Vivarelli is a distinguished surgical researcher whose work has made significant contributions to the field of hepatobiliary and minimally invasive surgery. His research focuses primarily on liver surgery, with a particular emphasis on comparing and advancing surgical techniques for complex hepatic resections. His most cited work, "Robotic versus laparoscopic resections of posterosuperior segments of the liver: a propensity score-matched comparison" (2015), has garnered 136 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive liver surgery. By employing rigorous propensity score-matched methodology, Vivarelli provided the surgical community with critical evidence comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for technically demanding posterosuperior liver segments — anatomical locations notorious for their surgical complexity. This work has informed clinical decision-making worldwide and helped establish benchmarks for evaluating emerging robotic platforms in hepatic surgery. His contributions have positioned him as an important voice in defining best practices for liver resection, influencing both training paradigms and technology adoption in academic surgical centers globally. Researchers and clinicians working in hepatobiliary surgery continue to reference his findings as foundational evidence in the field.
