About

Aryan Modasi is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, particularly through the application of robotic technology. His most-cited paper, "Applying IWATE criteria to robotic hepatectomy: is there a 'robotic effect'?" (2020, 36 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Modasi critically evaluated the IWATE difficulty scoring system—traditionally used for laparoscopic liver resections—in the context of robotic procedures. His findings introduced the concept of a "robotic effect," suggesting that robotic assistance may reduce the technical difficulty of complex liver resections compared to conventional laparoscopy. This work has significant implications for surgical planning, training, and patient selection, helping to refine how surgeons assess case complexity in the robotic era. By bridging established laparoscopic metrics with emerging robotic techniques, Modasi has provided a framework for safer, more effective adoption of robotic hepatectomy. His research directly impacts how surgeons approach high-risk liver surgeries, and his insights continue to inform both clinical practice and future studies in robotic hepatobiliary surgery.
