About

Dan E. Azagury is a prominent surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic technology, and bariatric procedures. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of robotic-assisted surgical platforms, particularly in the context of complex gastrointestinal and bariatric operations. Azagury's most impactful contribution examines the comparative outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, a landmark prospective study that has garnered 115 citations and provided long-term clinical insights into one of the most performed bariatric procedures worldwide. His complementary work on robotic revisional bariatric surgery — notoriously among the most technically demanding procedures in the field — has further shaped surgical decision-making, earning 85 citations. His contributions to the SAGES TAVAC safety analysis of the da Vinci Surgical System (74 citations) reflect his role in shaping national-level evaluations of robotic technology. Beyond bariatrics, Azagury has explored robotic single-site cholecystectomy and innovative near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography techniques to optimize operative efficiency. His 2024 SAGES review on emerging multi-visceral robotic platforms underscores his continued leadership in anticipating the future of surgical robotics. Collectively, his body of work has meaningfully informed both clinical practice and surgical training.
