About
Chady Salloum is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on the comparative effectiveness of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions center on providing high-level evidence through systematic reviews and meta-analyses that clarify the role of robotic surgery in liver and pancreatic resections. His landmark 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic liver surgery, encompassing over 2,700 cases and cited 117 times, demonstrated the safety and feasibility of the robotic approach while identifying areas for improvement. Salloum’s work is notable for its rigorous methodology, including propensity score-matched studies that compare short- and long-term oncologic outcomes between robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches. He has also explored cost-effectiveness, as in his 2016 study on left lateral sectionectomy, and pioneered innovative techniques such as the extracorporeal Pringle maneuver and the fusion of 3D printing with robotic surgery for complex vascular resections. With multiple papers exceeding 60 citations, Salloum’s research has been instrumental in guiding surgical decision-making and shaping the global adoption of robotic liver and pancreatic surgery.
