About
Tiziana Olivieri is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in hepatobiliary and oncologic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver transplantation. Her most impactful contribution is the largest meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (206 citations), which provided critical evidence that robotic surgery offers comparable oncologic outcomes with potential ergonomic and technical advantages. She has also systematically evaluated robotic liver resection for HCC, demonstrating its safety and efficacy in multiple studies, including a landmark series of 46 consecutive cases (67 citations) and a comprehensive systematic review (30 citations). Notably, her work has expanded the role of robotic surgery in bridging therapies before liver transplantation and in comparing robotic resection to percutaneous ablation for early HCC. More recently, she has contributed to the pioneering field of robotic liver transplantation, reporting the University of Modena’s experience. With over 330 cumulative citations, Olivieri’s research is shaping the evidence base for robotic surgery in complex hepatobiliary and gastric malignancies, helping to define best practices and expand surgical options for patients.
