About

Dr. Renato Patrone is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques for complex hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cancers. His work centers on two key areas: the surgical management of gallbladder cancer and the optimal treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Dr. Patrone’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery for gallbladder cancer, a technically demanding procedure that he has helped standardize through detailed technique descriptions and outcome analyses. His 2020 study on this topic (6 citations) provides a crucial roadmap for surgeons tackling this aggressive disease. In the realm of pNETs, Dr. Patrone has critically evaluated the surgical decision-making process, comparing enucleation versus formal resection to determine the best oncologic and functional outcomes for patients. His 2024 work on this subject (9 combined citations) offers valuable guidance for multidisciplinary teams. With a cumulative impact of over 15 citations on these pivotal studies, Dr. Patrone is establishing himself as a key voice in the evolution of HPB surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic technology to improve patient recovery and survival.
