About

Arnaud Piquard is a surgeon-researcher advancing the field of minimally invasive oncologic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted techniques for gastrointestinal cancers. His work centers on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and long-term outcomes of robotic approaches in complex procedures, particularly total gastrectomy and rectal cancer surgery. Piquard’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that robotic-assisted total gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy is a viable alternative to traditional laparoscopy, addressing the steep learning curve that has hindered widespread adoption of the laparoscopic technique. His 2018 study on this topic, with 3 citations, provides foundational evidence for the robotic approach’s feasibility in gastric cancer. More recently, his 2024 comparative study between two reference centers, with 2 citations, offers valuable short- and long-term outcome data for robotic versus laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. By systematically comparing results from high-volume centers, Piquard helps clarify the clinical benefits of robotic platforms in oncologic resections. His research is particularly impactful for surgeons seeking to adopt robotic techniques, as it provides evidence-based guidance on patient selection, operative safety, and oncologic efficacy.
