About

Dr. Livia Manfredini is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive oncology. Her primary focus lies in the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques, particularly for complex abdominal cancers. Dr. Manfredini’s major contributions include pioneering evidence on the safety and outcomes of robotic adrenalectomy, where her review on risk factors has become a key reference for high-volume centers adopting the posterior retroperitoneoscopic approach. She has also made a significant impact in gastric cancer surgery, leading a comprehensive network meta-analysis that rigorously compares open, lap-assisted, totally laparoscopic, and robotic total gastrectomy. This work, which has already garnered 11 citations, provides crucial short-term outcomes data to guide surgical decision-making. By systematically evaluating these advanced techniques, Dr. Manfredini is helping to define best practices and improve patient recovery. Her research is instrumental for surgeons and trainees navigating the transition toward robotic surgery, offering a clear, data-driven roadmap for optimizing care in adrenal and gastric malignancies.
