About

Orlando Jorge Martins Torres is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work is redefining the frontiers of minimally invasive liver surgery. His research centers on establishing global standards for major liver resections and advancing robotic techniques for complex procedures. Torres made a landmark contribution by co-authoring the first study to define benchmark values for open major anatomic hepatectomy in non-cirrhotic patients (13 citations), providing essential reference points for surgical quality and international comparisons. He is also a leader in robotic liver surgery, having demonstrated the feasibility of a totally robotic ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy) procedure for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic livers (13 citations)—a rare and technically demanding operation. Additionally, his systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic single-incision cholecystectomy (3 citations) critically evaluates outcomes and cost-effectiveness of emerging techniques. Through these contributions, Torres is not only pushing the boundaries of what is possible robotically but also providing the evidence base needed to standardize and improve outcomes in major liver surgery worldwide.
