About

Claire Goumard is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive liver surgery, with a focused expertise in laparoscopic and robotic liver resections. Her major contributions center on advancing surgical techniques and establishing evidence-based benchmarks for robotic liver resection (R-LR), a rapidly evolving field. Notably, her 2020 multicenter comparative study on outcomes after 3D laparoscopic and robotic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, cited 29 times, provided critical insights into the safety and efficacy of these approaches. More recently, Goumard has led groundbreaking work to define novel benchmarks for R-LR, aiming to standardize outcomes and assess the impact of patient selection—a key step in bridging traditional surgical practices with innovation. Her 2025 study on mastering robotic liver resection, which evaluates the learning curve and procedural frequency’s effect on performance, underscores her commitment to improving surgical training and patient outcomes. With additional contributions like the surgical glove technique for laparoscopic liver resection, Goumard’s research is shaping the future of hepatobiliary surgery, making her a leading voice in the integration of robotics into clinical practice.
