About
Mariantonietta Alagia is a leading researcher in the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a primary focus on advancing robotic liver resection techniques. Her work systematically addresses the technical challenges of operating on anatomically complex liver segments, particularly the posterosuperior segments and the caudate lobe, which are notoriously difficult to access via traditional laparoscopic approaches. Alagia’s major contributions include providing the first comprehensive classification of robotic liver parenchymal transection techniques, offering surgeons a standardized framework to improve precision and safety. Her meta-analysis of propensity-score matched studies, which has garnered 20 citations, demonstrates that robotic resection yields comparable or superior outcomes to laparoscopic methods for these demanding cases. Additionally, her systematic review on robotic caudate lobe resection, though recently published, establishes early evidence for the feasibility and safety of this approach. Through her rigorous comparative studies and technical classifications, Alagia is shaping the future of robotic hepatobiliary surgery, helping to expand the boundaries of what is achievable with minimally invasive techniques.
