About

Simone Conci is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research has been pivotal in advancing minimally invasive liver surgery, particularly through the comparison of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His work focuses on refining surgical approaches for complex liver pathologies, including hepatocellular carcinoma and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Conci’s major contributions include landmark studies demonstrating that robotic liver surgery can achieve comparable or superior perioperative outcomes to laparoscopic methods, with his 2024 paper on this topic accumulating 76 citations. He led a multicentric propensity-score matched analysis of 647 patients, showing equivalent oncologic outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, a study that has quickly gained traction with 6 citations since its 2025 publication. His 2020 literature review remains a foundational resource, cited 5 times for its comprehensive assessment of robotic liver surgery’s current evidence. Notably, Conci has also challenged conventional surgical contraindications, investigating curative resection for Type IV perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at a tertiary referral center. With over 89 citations across his most-cited works, Conci’s research is shaping the future of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, providing critical evidence for surgeons and patients alike.
