About

Dr. Deepa Magge is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) procedures. Her work is centered on rigorously evaluating the safety, cost-effectiveness, and perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic surgery compared to traditional open approaches. Dr. Magge’s most impactful contribution is a comprehensive comparative analysis of open, laparoscopic, and robotic distal pancreatectomy (59 citations), which provides critical evidence for surgical decision-making. She has also demonstrated that robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, when performed at experienced centers, does not increase the risk of post-pancreatic hemorrhage (35 citations), helping to validate the safety of robotic approaches. Beyond comparative studies, Dr. Magge has pioneered technical innovations, including combined endoscopic and robotic techniques for difficult cholecystectomy and robotic-assisted placement of hepatic artery infusion pumps for regional liver chemotherapy. Her work is instrumental in establishing the oncologic equivalence and reduced morbidity of minimally invasive HPB surgery, shaping modern surgical practice for pancreatic and liver cancers.
