About
Dr. Charis Ripley-Hager is a leading authority in bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in the perioperative management and long-term outcomes of complex procedures like the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). Her seminal work, "Venous thromboembolism after laparoscopic or robotic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch," draws on a decade of clinical experience to rigorously analyze the ninety-day postoperative risk of venous thromboembolism—a critical safety endpoint in this high-risk population. By comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches, Dr. Ripley-Hager has provided essential, evidence-based guidance for thromboprophylaxis protocols, directly improving patient safety in one of the most effective yet technically demanding metabolic surgeries. Her research, cited over 11 times, has shaped clinical guidelines and informed the practices of bariatric centers worldwide. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Ripley-Hager is recognized for her contributions to optimizing surgical technique and reducing complication rates, establishing her as a pivotal figure in advancing the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery for severe obesity.
