About
Dr. Sara Ingallinella is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex liver and biliary tumors. Her major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques to improve oncological outcomes and patient safety. Notably, her 2022 study on robotic lymphadenectomy for biliary tumors (26 citations) provides critical evidence on the oncological adequacy of the robotic approach compared to open surgery, using rigorous propensity score analysis. Dr. Ingallinella has also advanced the field by defining the learning curve for robotic liver surgery, demonstrating it is achievable with a laparoscopic background and a team-based model (10 citations). Her innovative "Robo-Lap" technique, which combines robotic dissection with laparoscopic parenchymal transection, optimizes intraoperative outcomes in major hepatectomies (5 citations). Further showcasing her versatility, she has explored precision surgery using indocyanine green (ICG)-guided robotic resection for liver adenoma (4 citations) and conducted a multicenter analysis on the economic impact of robotic liver resections (2 citations). Through her work, Dr. Ingallinella is shaping the future of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, balancing technical innovation with cost-effectiveness.
