About
Dr. Alejandro Mejia is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex liver and pancreatic procedures. His major contributions lie in systematically comparing robotic versus laparoscopic liver resections across various tumor sizes and anatomical locations, including major hepatectomies, limited resections of posterosuperior segments, and surgeries for huge (≥10 cm) tumors. Through large-scale international multicenter studies and propensity-score matched analyses, Dr. Mejia has demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and potential superiority of robotic approaches in reducing open conversion rates and improving outcomes. His work on fully robotic pancreaticoduodenectomies and robotic-assisted kidney auto-transplantation for nutcracker syndrome further showcases his versatility. With several papers accumulating 30–60 citations each, his research has significantly influenced surgical practice. Notably, his 2023 studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic major hepatectomies (59 citations) and limited liver resections (54 citations) are among the most cited in the field, establishing him as a leading voice in the era of robotic surgery.
