About
Gabriela Pilz da Cunha is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. Her research has systematically advanced the evidence base for robotic liver resection, producing landmark studies that compare robotic and laparoscopic approaches across clinical outcomes, healthcare costs, and nationwide practice patterns. Her most-cited work — a 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic liver resection, already garnering 20 citations — exemplifies her commitment to synthesizing high-quality evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Pilz da Cunha has contributed to shaping procedural standards through a European expert consensus on robotic hepatectomy technique and established international benchmark values for robotic right hepatectomy across 22 expert centers. Her investigations extend beyond efficacy to healthcare economics, examining cost implications of robotic implementation in both liver and pancreatic surgery. Notable contributions include research on novel instrumentation for parenchymal transection and the feasibility of outpatient robotic hepatectomy across six international centers. With over 80 citations accumulated primarily within a single year, her rapidly growing influence reflects both the timeliness and rigor of her contributions to advancing minimally invasive liver surgery.
