About
Nicola de Liguori-Carino is a surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions include a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis (2024, 6 citations) demonstrating that minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy carries a significantly higher risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism compared to the open approach—a critical finding for perioperative management and patient safety. He also led the first prospective case series (Stage 2a IDEAL) evaluating the Versius robotic surgical system for distal pancreatectomy (2024, 2 citations), establishing feasibility and technical details for this emerging platform. This work is notable for its rigorous methodology and direct impact on surgical practice, providing evidence-based guidance for technique selection and complication prevention. With a career dedicated to evaluating novel surgical technologies through systematic reviews and prospective studies, de Liguori-Carino is helping shape the future of pancreatic surgery by balancing innovation with patient safety.
