About

Dr. Antonella Tudisco is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for liver and biliary malignancies. Her major contributions center on comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches, providing critical evidence that robotic and laparoscopic liver resections offer superior short-term outcomes—such as reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays—while maintaining equivalent long-term oncologic results. Her landmark 2019 propensity score-matched study, cited over 60 times, established a foundational comparison between robotic and laparoscopic liver resection for malignancies. Dr. Tudisco further demonstrated the oncologic adequacy of robotic lymphadenectomy for biliary tumors, showing it can match open surgery in nodal yield with less morbidity. Her multicenter work on hepatocellular carcinoma, with nearly 30 citations, reinforces the safety and efficacy of 3D laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Tudisco has helped define modern standards for minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, guiding surgeons toward techniques that optimize both recovery and cancer control.
