About

Mohammed Hammoda is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His landmark 2021 multicentre analysis, which has garnered 121 citations, directly addressed a critical gap in the literature by demonstrating the comparative perioperative outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, providing much-needed evidence for surgeons choosing between these approaches. Building on this, his 2023 study on the learning curves of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, cited 40 times, tackled another essential question: how experienced pancreatic centers master these complex techniques. By analyzing large, multicentre datasets, Hammoda has helped define the benchmarks and safety thresholds for adopting robotic surgery, directly informing training protocols and reducing potential patient harm. His work is distinguished by its practical impact, offering clear, data-driven guidance to surgeons navigating the transition from traditional laparoscopic to robotic platforms. For students and researchers, Hammoda’s contributions exemplify how rigorous comparative effectiveness research can shape the evolution of surgical practice, making pancreatic surgery safer and more effective.
