About

Brigitta Globke is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures. Her work critically evaluates the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and postoperative outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgeries for complex liver and pancreatic resections. Her most-cited study, “Robotic versus laparoscopic versus open major hepatectomy” (2023, 17 citations), provides a comprehensive cost and outcomes analysis, demonstrating that while robotic surgery offers technical advantages, its financial implications require careful consideration in clinical decision-making. Another notable contribution, “Feasibility of robotic-assisted pancreatic resection in patients with previous minor abdominal surgeries” (2022, 5 citations), challenges conventional practice by showing that robotic approaches can be safely performed even in patients with prior abdominal surgeries, traditionally considered high-risk for minimally invasive techniques. Globke’s work is instrumental in defining patient selection criteria and optimizing surgical pathways in high-volume centers. Her research not only informs surgical practice but also guides healthcare resource allocation, making her a key voice in the ongoing debate over the value of robotic surgery in hepatobiliary and pancreatic oncology.
