About
Rodrigo Mateo is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontiers of robotic hepatobiliary surgery. His primary research focuses on developing and refining minimally invasive techniques for complex liver procedures, with a particular emphasis on improving patient safety and surgical precision. Mateo’s major contribution is his work on robotic major hepatectomy, where he demonstrated the feasibility and safety of combining extrahepatic inflow control with laparoscopic CUSA parenchymal transection—a technical innovation that reduces blood loss and operative risk. His landmark 2021 paper on this approach has garnered 36 citations, reflecting its significant impact on the field. Additionally, Mateo has explored the use of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging to identify biliary duct branches during robot-assisted laparoscopic hepatic cyst fenestration, a novel method that enhances intraoperative visualization and reduces bile duct injury. Through these contributions, Mateo is shaping the next generation of liver surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
