About

Filipe Roza da Silva is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the fields of hepatobiliary and bariatric surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of complex robotic procedures. Most notably, he has been at the forefront of robotic ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy), a demanding two-stage liver resection for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic livers. His seminal 2021 paper, "Total robotic ALPPS approach for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic liver," with 13 citations, is a landmark study detailing the first series of this procedure, showcasing its potential to expand surgical options for patients with limited liver function. In bariatric surgery, his comparative work on robotic versus laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (2023, 4 citations) contributes to the ongoing debate on the role of robotics in metabolic surgery. Through these efforts, Dr. Roza da Silva is helping to define the next generation of surgical care, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic technology to improve patient outcomes.
