About

Anne-Laure Borel is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose work centers on advanced robotic techniques for revisional and complex gastric bypass procedures. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of totally robotic approaches to challenging surgical scenarios, such as reversing omega-loop gastric bypass to normal anatomy—a procedure that addresses severe complications like malnutrition or chronic pain. In her 2016 study, she meticulously outlined the technical steps for this reversal, achieving a low complication rate and offering a viable solution for patients with failed primary surgeries. Her 2017 work further expanded the robotic repertoire by combining Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with hiatal hernia repair using biological mesh, addressing two concurrent pathologies in a single, minimally invasive operation. While her citation counts (11 and 2, respectively) reflect the niche but critical nature of her research, these publications have become essential references for surgeons tackling complex revisional cases. Borel’s commitment to refining robotic surgical protocols has advanced patient outcomes and set new standards in bariatric surgery, making her a respected authority in the field.
