About

Nicola De Angelis is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in robotic and laparoscopic hepatobiliary and colorectal surgery. His research rigorously evaluates the safety, feasibility, and oncological adequacy of these techniques in complex patient populations. De Angelis has made pivotal contributions by demonstrating that robotic major hepatectomy is a viable and safe option for elderly patients, expanding surgical candidacy. He has also provided critical comparative data showing that robotic distal pancreatectomy offers superior perioperative outcomes over the laparoscopic approach for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in obese patients. His work extends to rectal cancer, where he has investigated the role of laparoscopy for locally advanced disease following neoadjuvant therapy. With over 19 citations across his most influential works, including a meta-analysis on the oncological adequacy of R1 vascular margins in liver surgery, De Angelis’s research is shaping modern surgical protocols. His studies are essential reading for surgeons seeking to optimize outcomes through tailored, minimally invasive strategies for high-risk and oncologically challenging cases.
