About

Massimo Rossi is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and minimally invasive surgery, with a focused expertise in advanced liver procedures and complex hepatic pathologies. His research is centered on refining surgical techniques to reduce invasiveness and improve patient outcomes, particularly in the context of the ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy) procedure. Rossi’s major contribution includes a seminal 2019 systematic review on the minimally invasive approach in ALPPS, which has garnered 47 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for adopting laparoscopic and robotic methods in this demanding two-stage hepatectomy. This work has helped shape current surgical protocols, demonstrating that mini-invasive ALPPS is both feasible and safe in selected patients. Additionally, Rossi has explored the management of hepatic hemangioma, a common but often benign liver condition, advocating for a conservative, observation-first strategy while also investigating mini-invasive treatments for rare symptomatic cases. His scholarship underscores a commitment to challenging conventional surgical dogma, balancing innovation with rigorous clinical evidence. Through these efforts, Rossi has significantly influenced the evolution of liver surgery, making it safer and more accessible.
