About
Dr. Annalisa Comandatore is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Her research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive techniques for complex oncologic procedures, particularly in the pancreas, liver, and biliary tract. She has made major contributions by systematically evaluating and refining robotic approaches for right colectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and hepatectomy, including biliary reconstruction for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Her work on ileo-colic intra-corporeal anastomosis (25 citations) and the IRON study on gallbladder cancer (15 citations) have helped establish best practices and comparative outcomes for robotic versus laparoscopic and open surgery. Dr. Comandatore has also pioneered the analysis of learning curves for full-robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, demonstrating the feasibility of high-volume, single-surgeon adoption without conversion. Her investigations into pancreatic stump management and delayed gastric emptying have directly addressed critical postoperative complications. With over 70 total citations and recent publications in 2025, including studies on textbook outcomes and video-assessment of surgical performance, Dr. Comandatore continues to shape the future of robotic HPB surgery, providing evidence that drives safer, more effective patient care.
