About
Mikel Prieto is a leading figure in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, with a research focus on comparing the outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex liver resections. His major contributions include demonstrating through large-scale, international multicenter studies that robotic techniques can offer advantages over laparoscopy in specific procedures, such as reduced blood loss during right anterior sectionectomy and central hepatectomy. Prieto’s work, which includes propensity score-matched analyses of thousands of patients, has provided critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive major hepatectomies, including right, extended right, and left hepatectomies. His research has been highly impactful, with his most cited paper, a 2022 study on robotic versus laparoscopic right hepatectomy, garnering 120 citations. Notably, he has also investigated risk factors for open conversion during these procedures, offering insights to improve surgical planning. Prieto’s comprehensive analyses have helped shape clinical decision-making in hepatobiliary surgery, establishing benchmarks for minimally invasive techniques.
