About
Michele Pagnanelli is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for pancreatic cancer treatment. His major contribution lies in rigorously evaluating the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (MI-RAMPS) compared to the traditional open approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In his pivotal 2023 study, Pagnanelli employed sophisticated entropy balancing analysis to compare 85 open RAMPS procedures with 93 MI-RAMPS cases, providing robust, bias-adjusted evidence that MI-RAMPS can be performed safely while offering potential advantages in postoperative recovery. This work, which has already garnered 6 citations, addresses a critical gap in pancreatic surgery literature and helps establish evidence-based guidelines for surgical decision-making. Pagnanelli’s research is particularly notable for its methodological rigor, using advanced statistical matching to overcome the limitations of retrospective comparisons. By systematically demonstrating the feasibility of minimally invasive approaches in complex pancreatic resections, he is helping to expand surgical options for patients with pancreatic cancer while maintaining oncologic standards.
