About
Christoph Reissfelder is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in colorectal and liver surgery. His research primarily investigates the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques, aiming to refine operative standards and improve patient outcomes. A major contribution is his work on complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon cancer, where his 2025 meta-analysis systematically compared robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, providing critical evidence for the emerging role of robotic surgery in this domain. In liver surgery, Reissfelder has advanced the field by stratifying postoperative outcomes using the IWATE difficulty score, offering a nuanced understanding of which patients benefit most from minimally invasive versus open resections. His impact is further demonstrated by his meta-analysis on the oncological adequacy of R1 vascular margins in liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal metastases, a study that challenges conventional surgical boundaries. With several recent high-impact meta-analyses already garnering citations, Reissfelder’s work is shaping the next generation of evidence-based surgical practice, particularly in the adoption of robotic platforms for complex oncologic resections.
