About
Dr. Stefano Ferretti is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex liver and biliary tract surgeries. His major contributions center on evaluating the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of robotic-assisted and laparoscopic approaches. In his landmark 2014 matched-pair comparative study (95 citations), Dr. Ferretti demonstrated that robot-assisted full laparoscopic liver resection offers distinct advantages over traditional laparoscopy, particularly in overcoming technical limitations. This work has helped shape modern surgical protocols for liver resections. More recently, his 2023 systematic review on minimally invasive surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (15 citations) addresses one of the most technically demanding procedures in hepatobiliary surgery, providing critical short- and long-term outcome data. Dr. Ferretti’s research is instrumental in guiding surgeons toward safer, less invasive options for patients with complex hepatobiliary malignancies. His work, conducted across European centers, continues to influence clinical practice and surgical innovation, making him a respected voice in the evolution of robotic and laparoscopic liver surgery.
