About

Jonathan Green is a leading voice in paediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), with a focused research agenda on health equity and surgical access for adolescents. His work critically examines how race, socioeconomic status, and policy changes shape disparities in surgical care. In his highly cited 2025 MBSAQIP analysis, Green demonstrated that despite rising procedure rates, significant racial disparities persist in access to paediatric MBS, directly linking these inequities to systemic barriers rather than clinical need. His 2024 study on national trends (2017–2022) further quantified the accelerating adoption of adolescent MBS, providing essential longitudinal data for surgeons and policymakers. With over 5 citations on his most recent work alone, Green’s research is already shaping clinical guidelines and advocacy efforts. He is particularly noted for translating complex administrative data into actionable insights for reducing disparities, making him a key figure in the movement toward equitable, evidence-based paediatric surgical care. His contributions are essential reading for anyone studying health disparities or the evolution of adolescent bariatric surgery.
