About
Dr. Andrea Benedetti Cacciaguerra is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research is revolutionizing minimally invasive liver and pancreatic surgery. His work centers on three key areas: advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for complex resections, standardizing the use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation, and improving outcomes for colorectal liver metastases. His landmark systematic review on ICG fluorescence in liver surgery (173 citations) has helped define best practices for this critical navigation tool, while his multicentre analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (121 citations) provided essential evidence for surgical decision-making. Dr. Cacciaguerra has been instrumental in large-scale international collaborations, including the SIMMILR studies, which evaluated minimally invasive approaches for colorectal liver metastases across multiple centers. His survey of world experts on minimally invasive anatomic liver resection helped establish consensus on this challenging procedure. With recent work examining the impact of operative time on postoperative complications in over 5,400 patients, he continues to generate high-quality evidence that directly informs clinical practice. Dr. Cacciaguerra’s research is shaping the future of hepatobiliary surgery, making complex procedures safer and more accessible.
