About
Iswanto Sucandy is a leading surgical oncologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of minimally invasive liver surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomy. His research systematically evaluates the safety, efficacy, and comparative outcomes of robotic liver surgery (RLS) against traditional laparoscopic approaches, addressing one of the most pressing questions in modern hepatobiliary surgery. Through rigorous propensity score–matched analyses and large international multicenter studies, Sucandy has demonstrated the clinical viability and expanding indications of robotic techniques for complex procedures, including right hepatectomy, extended resections, and challenging posterosuperior segment resections. His 2020 worldwide meta-analysis of 2,728 robotic liver surgery cases (117 citations) provided critical global context for the field's trajectory, while his institutional outcome studies helped establish benchmarks for robotic major hepatectomy. Collectively, his ten most-cited papers have accumulated over 720 citations, reflecting enormous influence across the surgical community. His contributions extend to international consensus-building, including the landmark 2024 Paris Jury-Based Consensus on robotic hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. Sucandy's body of work continues to guide surgeons worldwide in adopting safer, less invasive approaches to liver cancer treatment.
