About
Giovanni Viel is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic and laparoscopic techniques for treating complex liver and biliary tumors. His work systematically evaluates the safety and efficacy of these innovative approaches against traditional open surgery. Viel’s major contributions include a comprehensive systematic review on robotic surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, a notoriously difficult-to-treat cancer, and a meta-analysis comparing minimally invasive versus open liver resection in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. His research consistently demonstrates that robotic platforms can enhance surgical precision, reduce blood loss, and lower complication rates, even in the most challenging cases. With over 18 citations across his key publications, Viel’s work is gaining recognition for shaping clinical guidelines. Notably, his 2025 study on 150 robotic liver resections provides a decade-long perspective on the evolution and short-term outcomes of this technology. He has also explored novel applications, such as using ICG fluorescence for precise resection of rare metastatic tumors, showcasing his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation.
