About
Dr. Michael Passeri is a leading figure in minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on advancing surgical safety and efficacy, particularly in complex reoperative scenarios. His most cited work, a 2018 study comparing robotic-assisted to laparoscopic left pancreatectomy at a high-volume center (71 citations), demonstrated the robotic approach's feasibility and safety, helping to establish benchmarks for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. Dr. Passeri is also renowned for his pioneering work in surgical education, developing an objective, kinematics-based method combined with cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis to evaluate novice robotic surgeons (29 citations). This novel approach provides a data-driven framework for assessing technical proficiency, moving beyond subjective evaluation. His research further addresses challenging clinical problems, such as robotic-assisted completion cholecystectomy for patients with prior subtotal or aborted procedures (11 citations), proving it a safe alternative to traditional open surgery. Through these contributions, Dr. Passeri has significantly impacted both clinical practice and surgical training in the field of minimally invasive surgery.
