About
Sergio Alfieri is a distinguished surgical researcher whose work spans minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, robotic colorectal surgery, and the emerging application of computer vision technologies in the operating room. His most-cited contribution, "Computer Vision in Surgery" (2022, 189 citations), reflects a forward-thinking engagement with artificial intelligence and sensor-based surgical analysis, positioning him at the intersection of technology and clinical practice. Alfieri has been instrumental in shaping evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, co-authoring the internationally validated EGUMIPS guidelines (2023, 117 citations), a landmark consensus document informing surgical practice across Europe and beyond. His multicenter studies on robotic distal pancreatectomy—including a cohort of 236 patients—have helped establish the safety and feasibility of robotic approaches to complex pancreatic disease. In colorectal surgery, Alfieri has contributed to robotic training curriculum development and comparative outcomes research in rectal cancer. His work on elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy further demonstrates a commitment to nuanced, patient-centered surgical decision-making. Collectively, his research has garnered hundreds of citations, making him a significant voice in the global advancement of minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
