About
Benjamin Babic is a leading European surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic esophageal cancer surgery. His work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques, specifically Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE), to improve outcomes for patients with esophageal cancer. Dr. Babic’s major contributions include demonstrating that RAMIE is not only feasible but offers significant advantages over conventional and hybrid minimally invasive approaches, as shown in his highly cited 2019 propensity-matched analysis (115 citations) and his landmark study on 100 consecutive RAMIE procedures (73 citations). He has been instrumental in showing that surgical teams can transition from hybrid to fully robotic esophagectomy without compromising patient safety or oncologic results. Beyond comparative effectiveness, Dr. Babic has pioneered innovative techniques, such as the fully robotic 4-arm Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, and has led efforts to standardize training through a worldwide Delphi consensus study (29 citations). His research also explores novel applications like near-infrared fluorescent imaging for lymphatic mapping. With multiple papers exceeding 100 citations, Dr. Babic’s work is shaping the global standard of care for esophageal cancer surgery.
