About
Dr. Alexia Farrugia is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive abdominal surgery, with a primary focus on robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) procedures. Her major contributions lie in establishing structured training pathways for complex robotic HPB services, as detailed in her 2021 work (12 citations), which provides a roadmap for institutions adopting these technologies. She has also explored the cutting-edge potential of multivisceral robotic resections, demonstrating how robotics can expand the boundaries of what is surgically possible for advanced malignancies. Additionally, her systematic review comparing robotic versus laparoscopic splenectomy (2021, 2 citations) offers critical insights into perioperative outcomes, helping to guide evidence-based surgical decision-making. Dr. Farrugia’s work is characterized by its forward-looking vision, addressing both the technical and educational challenges of integrating robotics into complex abdominal surgery. Her research not only documents initial experiences but also lays the groundwork for future innovations, making her a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive HPB and oncologic surgery.
