About
Dr. Stefano Garritano is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in complex hepatopancreaticobiliary and colorectal procedures. His research is centered on advancing laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques to treat aggressive cancers while improving patient recovery. Dr. Garritano’s most impactful work, cited 32 times, is a seminal analysis on the simultaneous minimally invasive treatment of colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases, demonstrating that a combined approach is both safe and oncologically effective. He further established the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive re-resection for incidental gallbladder carcinoma, a rare but aggressive diagnosis found after routine cholecystectomy, a study with 17 citations that has guided surgical protocols. Demonstrating the breadth of his skill, Dr. Garritano has also pioneered the application of robotic surgery in pediatric oncology, as seen in his report on a robotic distal pancreatectomy for a solid pseudopapillary tumour. His work consistently proves that advanced minimally invasive techniques can be applied to the most challenging scenarios, offering patients the benefits of reduced trauma without compromising oncological outcomes.
