About
Paulo Herman is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research has fundamentally shaped the modern landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery. His work centers on a critical, high-stakes comparison: robotic versus laparoscopic techniques for liver resections. Through a series of landmark, large-scale international multicenter studies, Herman has provided the most robust evidence to date on this debate. His propensity-score matched analyses, covering everything from minor resections of the anterolateral segments to complex major hepatectomies and procedures for huge tumors (≥10 cm), have systematically defined the safety, efficacy, and specific advantages of each approach. With his most cited paper—a 2022 study on robotic and laparoscopic right hepatectomies—garnering over 120 citations, his impact is clear. Herman’s work also uniquely addresses challenging patient populations, including those with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, and has identified critical risk factors for open conversion. By providing the foundational data that guides surgical decision-making, he has directly improved patient outcomes and set the standard for evidence-based practice in hepatobiliary surgery.
