About
Brigitte C.M. Haberkorn is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on the implementation and outcomes of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD), a complex procedure for pancreatic and periampullary tumors. Her major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the learning curve for RPD at a national level, providing critical insights into how surgical teams can safely adopt this minimally invasive technique. Her landmark study, "Nationwide outcomes of 1000 robotic pancreatoduodenectomies across the four phases of the learning curve," has already garnered 6 citations since its 2025 publication, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. By analyzing outcomes across four distinct phases of surgical experience, Haberkorn demonstrated that patient safety and recovery improve significantly as teams progress beyond the initial learning curve, offering a roadmap for institutions worldwide. Her work is notable for its scale—tracking an entire nation's experience—and its practical implications for surgical training and credentialing. Haberkorn’s research bridges the gap between innovation and safe implementation, making her a key voice in the evolution of robotic pancreatic surgery.
