About

Pablo E. Serrano is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive liver surgery and defining best practices through rigorous outcomes analysis. His most impactful work directly compares robotic versus laparoscopic liver resection across various clinical settings, demonstrating that while robotic surgery offers no clear perioperative advantage over laparoscopy, its higher costs remain a critical consideration for surgical decision-making. This landmark 2024 study has already garnered 76 citations, reflecting its importance in guiding operative choices. Dr. Serrano also contributed to establishing textbook outcomes and benchmarks for minimally invasive left lateral sectionectomy across North America, providing standardized quality metrics for this procedure. His ongoing investigation into postoperative outcomes after minimally invasive minor hepatectomy based on ECOG performance status further refines patient selection, ensuring that frail patients are not excluded from the benefits of these advanced techniques. Through these contributions, Dr. Serrano has helped shape evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive liver surgery, balancing technical innovation with patient-centered outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
