About
Dr. Kristina Milivojev Covilo is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery. Her primary research focuses on robotic hepatectomy, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and the development of robust risk stratification tools. Dr. Covilo’s most significant contribution is the external validation of the Tampa Difficulty Scoring System for robotic liver resection, a landmark study published in 2025 that leveraged the Americas Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery Registry (AMILES) to confirm the tool’s predictive power across diverse surgical populations—garnering 4 citations in its first year. She further demonstrated transformative clinical impact by showing that systematic ERAS protocol implementation significantly improves outcomes in robotic hepatectomy, as detailed in her 2025 comparative analysis. Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, providing surgeons with validated metrics to optimize patient selection and perioperative care. With her recent publications already influencing the field, Dr. Covijo is establishing herself as a leading voice in the drive toward safer, more standardized robotic liver surgery.
