About
Dr. Maria Teresa Mita is a pioneering hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. Her primary research focuses on developing and refining advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex pancreatic resections, with a particular emphasis on improving safety and oncologic outcomes. Dr. Mita’s major contributions include the description of an end-to-end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy during minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy, a technical innovation that addresses one of the most challenging aspects of the procedure—the pancreatic anastomosis. She has also introduced the inframesocolic main pancreatic vessels-first approach for radical antegrade modular pancreaticosplenectomy (RAMPS), a novel strategy that enhances vascular control and oncologic clearance. Though early in their citation history, these technical descriptions represent foundational work that is gaining traction among surgical peers, with her 2023 paper on pancreaticojejunostomy already cited 3 times. Dr. Mita’s meticulous, step-by-step reporting of these complex procedures provides a valuable roadmap for surgeons worldwide, positioning her as an emerging leader in the field of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
