About
Iman Ghaderi is a surgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and surgical education. Best known for his rigorous analyses of large national databases, Ghaderi has made significant contributions to understanding the safety, efficiency, and outcomes of robotic surgery in bariatric and foregut procedures. His landmark 2020 study on robotic-assisted bariatric surgery, drawing on the MBSAQIP database and garnering 56 citations, established important benchmarks for perioperative outcomes across thousands of patients. Complementing this, his early institutional experience with robotic paraesophageal hernia repair — cited 51 times — helped validate robotics as a viable alternative to demanding laparoscopic approaches, particularly for complex diaphragmatic defects including rare simultaneous Morgagni and paraesophageal hernias. Beyond clinical outcomes, Ghaderi has demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing surgical training, authoring a systematic review of robotic surgery curricula and contributing to the evolution of laparoscopic skills simulation. His research on operative time, patient selection, COVID-19's impact on surgical access, and outcomes in older bariatric patients reflects a comprehensive, patient-centered scholarly agenda. With over 170 cumulative citations, Ghaderi's work meaningfully informs how surgeons adopt, teach, and refine robotic surgical practice.
