About

Dr. Annarita Libia is a pioneering surgeon specializing in the advancement of robotic hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery, with a particular focus on complex pancreatic and hepatic resections. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and clinical benefits of robotic approaches for traditionally high-risk procedures. Notably, her 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (5 citations) provides critical evidence that this technique may reduce the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula, a major complication in pancreatic surgery. She has also led multicenter European studies validating robotic management of choledochal cysts in adults (4 citations) and has shown that complete caudate lobe resection of the liver is safe when performed robotically by experienced centers (3 citations). Her work extends to pediatric applications, as demonstrated by her case report on robotic distal pancreatectomy for a rare solid pseudopapillary tumour (3 citations). Dr. Libia’s research is instrumental in expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, offering patients reduced morbidity and faster recovery. Her growing citation record reflects her emerging influence in the field of robotic HPB surgery.
