About
Antonella Delvecchio is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with particular expertise in hepatic oncology and colorectal cancer. Her research has systematically advanced the adoption of robotic platforms in liver surgery, contributing foundational studies on robotic liver resection that collectively span complex oncological scenarios, elderly patients, and even emergency settings. Her 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic and open mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (30 citations) established her credentials in evidence-based surgical evaluation, while her landmark report on the first 100 institutional robotic liver resections (9 citations) provided critical real-world feasibility data that has informed surgical practice internationally. Delvecchio has also helped push boundaries by documenting robotic surgery in unprecedented contexts, including awake liver resection and emergency rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating both clinical creativity and commitment to patient safety. Her multicenter work on hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma reflects a broader ambition to standardize and optimize oncological outcomes. Through rigorous prospective protocols, scoping reviews, and technical standardization papers, Delvecchio continues to shape how robotic surgery is taught, applied, and evaluated across general and hepatobiliary surgery.
