About
Mauro Podda is a surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and intraoperative imaging technologies. His research has made substantial contributions to the advancement of robotic surgery across complex abdominal procedures, with particular focus on pancreaticoduodenectomy, liver resection, and rectal cancer surgery. Podda's systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing robotic-assisted and open approaches to pancreaticoduodenectomy have become important reference points in the field, collectively drawing over 100 citations and helping to define best practices for periampullary disease management. A distinctive thread running through his portfolio is the application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging during robotic procedures — his pioneering case-matched and cohort studies on ICG-guided liver resection have garnered nearly 100 citations combined, establishing the technique's feasibility and safety profile. Podda has also contributed to understanding rare conditions like Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome and led the multinational ROBOCOSTES trial examining cost-effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery. His body of work, exceeding 370 total citations, reflects a consistent commitment to rigorous evaluation of emerging surgical technologies and their real-world clinical value.
