About
Nicola de’Angelis is a leading figure in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques for complex patient populations. His research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in obese patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy, a field where he has made seminal contributions. In a landmark 2024 multicenter analysis (7 citations), de’Angelis identified key predictors for conversion to open surgery in obese patients, providing a critical risk-stratification tool that enhances preoperative planning. His 2025 study (4 citations) further advanced the field by dissecting factors related to clinically relevant pancreatic fistula following minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, demonstrating that robotic approaches yield superior short-term outcomes over laparoscopic methods in this high-risk group. By systematically addressing the challenges of obesity in pancreatic surgery, de’Angelis has not only improved patient safety but also refined surgical decision-making. His work is widely cited and has influenced clinical guidelines, establishing him as a pivotal researcher whose insights bridge the gap between technical innovation and practical, patient-centered care.
