About
Shehzad R. Markar is a leading academic surgeon whose research focuses on the adoption, safety, and outcomes of robotic and minimally invasive upper gastrointestinal (GI) and oesophagogastric surgery. His major contributions include providing critical evidence on the real-world uptake and governance of robotic surgery, particularly through landmark national surveys and consensus-building studies. As a key figure in the Association of Upper GI Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland (AUGIS), Markar has driven the development of Delphi consensus recommendations that establish safe, standardized frameworks for adopting new surgical technologies, directly addressing the risk of patient harm from unregulated expansion. His highly cited work, including the 2024 national survey of UK practice, has shaped current clinical opinion and policy. With a career dedicated to improving surgical quality and patient safety, Markar’s research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapid evolution of robotic upper GI surgery, offering both a snapshot of current practice and a roadmap for responsible innovation.
