About
Dr. Raffaele Pugliese is a pioneering surgeon whose research spans minimally invasive surgical oncology, advanced biomaterials, and emerging neurotechnologies. His landmark work includes the DIPLOMA study (280 citations), which critically compared oncological outcomes of minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, setting new standards for surgical decision-making. He has also made seminal contributions to gastric cancer surgery, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic and robot-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, achieving impressive 5-year survival rates (139 citations). Beyond traditional surgery, Dr. Pugliese explores the frontier of artificial intelligence-empowered 3D and 4D printing for smarter biomedical materials (130 citations), envisioning dynamic implants and personalized surgical tools. His recent work on assistive robotics and neural interfaces for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (28 citations) reflects a commitment to translating surgical innovation into broader patient care. With over 675 total citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. Pugliese’s research consistently bridges technical precision with improved clinical outcomes, making him a leading voice in the evolution of modern surgery.
