About

Christoph Tschuor is a leading hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeon whose research focuses on the learning curves, safety, and outcomes of minimally invasive pancreatic and liver surgery, with a particular emphasis on robotic approaches. His major contributions include defining and standardizing learning curves for complex procedures such as pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy, as well as establishing benchmark values for robotic distal pancreatectomy. His work on multimodal treatment strategies for colorectal liver metastases has also informed current clinical guidelines. With papers accumulating over 300 citations, his most influential work—a 2022 study on learning curves in pancreatic surgery—has been cited 118 times. Tschuor has further advanced the field by leading international expert surveys to standardize complex robotic liver surgery and by demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic completion cholecystectomy in challenging scenarios. His research is instrumental in guiding the safe adoption of robotic techniques in HPB surgery, making him a key figure in the transition toward minimally invasive approaches.
