About
Dr. Gianluca Fornoni is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic and fluorescence-guided liver surgery. His major contributions center on standardizing complex anatomical liver resections, particularly for the challenging postero-superior segments, by integrating indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence technology with robotic platforms. Fornoni’s landmark work, the "Robo-Lap Approach," introduces a novel intraoperative navigation system based on vascular landmarks, enabling safer, more precise resections with improved efficacy and reproducibility. This technical innovation addresses a critical gap in robotic liver surgery, where standardization has lagged behind other fields. His most-cited paper (4 citations) establishes cornerstones for surgical technique, offering a reproducible framework that reduces operative risk and enhances oncologic outcomes. Fornoni’s achievements include pioneering the use of real-time fluorescence to map biliary anatomy and tumor margins, bridging the gap between laparoscopic and robotic approaches. His work has been recognized as a key step toward democratizing advanced minimally invasive liver surgery, with potential to reduce complication rates and expand access to complex resections. Fornoni’s research continues to shape the future of precision hepatobiliary surgery, making him a leading voice in the integration of robotics and intraoperative imaging.
