About

Dr. Christine March is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic approaches to complex liver surgery. Her major contributions lie in refining the Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy (ALPPS) procedure—a technique that induces rapid liver growth to enable resection of previously inoperable tumors. Recognizing that conventional ALPPS carries high morbidity and mortality, Dr. March has championed the robotic complete ALPPS (rALPPS) approach, demonstrating through her 2024 study that robotic assistance can reduce complications while enhancing technical precision. This work, already garnering early citations, positions her at the forefront of translating robotic innovations into safer, more effective oncologic surgery. Her research addresses a critical need: expanding surgical options for patients with extensive liver tumors while minimizing recovery burdens. By systematically evaluating outcomes and refining protocols, Dr. March is shaping the next standard of care in hepatobiliary surgery. Her growing citation record and focus on high-impact, translational studies mark her as a rising leader whose work directly benefits both surgeons and patients facing complex liver resections.
