About

B. Thebault is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in gastrointestinal oncology, particularly for pancreatic and gastric cancers. Their major contributions include developing a predictive Conversion Risk Score (CRS) for minimally invasive left pancreatectomy (MILP), a tool that helps surgeons identify patients at higher risk for conversion to open surgery and thereby reduce severe postoperative complications. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered 4 citations for its practical clinical impact. Thebault also pioneered the evaluation of robot-assisted total gastrectomy, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic approaches for this technically demanding procedure, which traditionally has a steep learning curve. Their comparative study between laparoscopic and robotic reference centers for rectal cancer surgery, published in 2024, provides valuable short- and long-term outcome data that helps guide surgical decision-making. With a research portfolio that bridges technical innovation and patient safety, Thebault is contributing to the evolution of minimally invasive surgery, making complex oncologic procedures more accessible and safer for patients.
