About
Salvatore Gruttadauria is a pioneering hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive liver and pancreatic surgery, living-donor transplantation, and the management of primary liver malignancies. His major contributions include landmark comparative studies of robotic versus laparoscopic hepatectomies, using rigorous propensity-score matching to demonstrate that robotic techniques can overcome the limitations of laparoscopy—especially for complex resections of posterosuperior liver segments and major hepatectomies. His work has been highly influential, with his top-cited papers accumulating over 200 citations collectively, including a 2023 study on robotic versus laparoscopic major hepatectomies with 59 citations. Gruttadauria also led a 12-year single-center experience on right hepatic lobe living donation, contributing critical insights into donor safety and graft selection. As a key figure in the Italian Group of Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery (IGoMILS) registry, he has helped shape national practice patterns, analyzing outcomes for over 700 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. His research consistently addresses the impact of cirrhosis severity and portal hypertension on surgical difficulty, providing evidence-based guidance for patient selection and operative planning.
