About

Alexandre Amado Elias is a Brazilian surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, with a particular emphasis on bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity. His most notable contribution to the field involves pioneering investigations into robotic bariatric surgery in Brazil, comparing outcomes between robotic-assisted procedures and conventional laparoscopic approaches. Conducted at the Garrido Institute, his clinical research has helped establish an evidence base for the adoption of robotic technology in bariatric surgical practice within the Brazilian healthcare context. Elias has published his findings in both Portuguese and English, demonstrating a commitment to reaching both local and international scientific audiences. His 2018 case series analysis, which has accumulated citations across both language versions, represents a meaningful early contribution to a relatively nascent area of surgical research in Latin America. By systematically evaluating patient outcomes across surgical modalities, his work supports clinicians and institutions in making informed decisions about integrating robotic platforms into bariatric programs. Though his citation profile is still developing, his research addresses a clinically significant gap and positions him as an emerging voice in advanced minimally invasive surgery in Brazil.
