About
Dr. P. Tarakanov is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex liver and bile duct cancers, particularly through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions lie in defining the safety, feasibility, and oncologic outcomes of robotic resections for traditionally challenging malignancies. In a landmark international multicenter study involving over 10,500 patients, Dr. Tarakanov identified key factors associated with open conversion during laparoscopic and robotic minor liver resections, providing critical benchmarks for surgical decision-making. He has further elucidated the impact of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension on the difficulty of these procedures, offering valuable risk stratification for primary liver tumors. Notably, his work on robot-assisted resections for locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and portal cholangiocarcinoma demonstrates promising immediate and long-term results, challenging the conventional open-surgery paradigm. With his most cited paper accumulating 10 citations since 2024, Dr. Tarakanov’s research is shaping the future of hepatobiliary surgery, establishing robotic approaches as viable options for patients with complex hepatobiliary malignancies.
