About
Dr. Michele Masetti is a pioneering figure in the advancement of robotic and minimally invasive hepatobiliary and colorectal surgery. His primary research focuses on refining complex surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly in the management of colorectal liver metastases and pelvic floor disorders. A major contribution is his work on robotic-assisted liver surgery, where he demonstrated through a multicenter analysis from the IGoMILS registry that robotic platforms offer technical advantages over traditional laparoscopy for treating colorectal liver metastases—a study that has garnered 40 citations. He has also been instrumental in advancing the fully robotic ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy) procedure, a critical innovation for patients with advanced tumor burden who require staged liver resection. Beyond hepatic surgery, Dr. Masetti has contributed to the standardization of robotic ventral mesh rectopexy, leading a 2025 Delphi consensus to establish best practices for this procedure. His work on robotic Hartmann’s reversal further showcases his commitment to expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, solidifying his reputation as a leader in robotic surgical innovation.
