About

Beat Moeckli is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. His primary focus lies in defining and validating benchmark outcomes for complex robotic and open procedures, particularly distal pancreatectomy and major liver resections. Moeckli’s major contributions include establishing the first international benchmark values for open major anatomic hepatectomy and robotic right hepatectomy, providing essential reference standards for surgical quality and comparison across centers. He also played a key role in the international validation of the Distal Pancreatectomy Fistula Risk Score (D-FRS), a critical tool for predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula. His work on the learning curve for robotic distal pancreatectomy and risk factors for conversion has directly informed surgical training and patient selection. With his most-cited paper, "Competency, Proficiency, and Mastery," accumulating 15 citations, and his studies drawing on large, multicenter international cohorts—including 22 expert centers for robotic hepatectomy—Moeckli’s research provides the robust, evidence-based framework needed to advance safety and standardization in modern HPB surgery.
