About
Francesca Ratti is an emerging surgical oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive liver surgery, with particular attention to the oncological outcomes of hepatic resection techniques. Her most notable work investigates the adequacy of R1 vascular margins in laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery for two of the most clinically significant liver malignancies: hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. This meta-analysis represents an important contribution to a longstanding debate in hepatobiliary surgery — whether a resection margin that is technically positive at a vascular plane compromises long-term oncological outcomes compared to a wider clear margin. By synthesizing available evidence, Ratti's work helps guide surgeons in decision-making during complex minimally invasive procedures where achieving wider margins may be anatomically constrained. Though her current citation record reflects the early stage of this publication, the topic addresses a critical clinical question with broad implications for surgical practice and patient outcomes worldwide. Her research positions her as a thoughtful contributor to the evolving field of precision hepatic oncology.
