About
Riccardo Aurelio Nasto is a surgical researcher advancing the frontiers of pancreatic oncology and minimally invasive surgery. His work centers on improving diagnostic precision and surgical outcomes for pancreatic tumors, a notoriously challenging field. In his highly cited 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, he rigorously evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative near-infrared indocyanine green fluorescence for detecting pancreatic tumors, demonstrating its potential to enhance intraoperative decision-making and tumor clearance. This work, which has garnered 11 citations, provides critical evidence for adopting fluorescence-guided surgery in pancreatic cancer. More recently, Nasto has tackled the contentious debate around robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy. In a 2025 study employing robust inverse probability of treatment weighting to minimize selection bias, he analyzed safety and efficacy outcomes, offering valuable insights into the role of robotic surgery in this complex procedure. By combining meticulous meta-analytic methods with advanced statistical techniques for real-world data, Nasto is helping to define evidence-based pathways for the surgical management of pancreatic disease, contributing to safer, more effective patient care.
