About
Dr. Alexis Laurent is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), with a focused expertise in hepatopancreatic surgery and surgical education. His research is dedicated to refining laparoscopic and robotic techniques for complex procedures, particularly for challenging patient populations. Dr. Laurent’s most cited work, a 2015 case-control study comparing MIS to radiofrequency ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma (86 citations), established critical benchmarks for liver cancer treatment. He has been instrumental in demonstrating the superiority of robotic approaches in obese patients, with multiple studies on distal pancreatectomy showing reduced conversion rates and blood loss. His recent multicenter analyses on conversion risk factors and predictive scoring systems for left pancreatectomy are shaping perioperative decision-making. Beyond clinical outcomes, Dr. Laurent has contributed to global surgical standards, co-authoring the 2022 WSES position paper on training curricula for emergency digestive surgery. With a publication record spanning over a decade, his work at Henri Mondor has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is achievable with robotic platforms, from the da Vinci Si to the Xi system, ultimately improving safety and outcomes in high-stakes abdominal surgery.
