About

D.M. D'Souza is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, whose work has fundamentally shaped the debate between robotic and laparoscopic approaches for liver resection. With a landmark 2024 study accumulating 76 citations, D'Souza has provided the most rigorous comparative analysis to date of perioperative outcomes between robotic liver surgery (RLS) and laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) across diverse clinical settings. This critical contribution directly addresses the long-standing question of whether the higher costs of robotic platforms translate into measurable patient benefits, offering evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making. Beyond this pivotal work, D'Souza's research portfolio consistently explores the frontiers of surgical innovation, examining how emerging technologies can improve safety, reduce complications, and expand the indications for minimally invasive liver procedures. Their scholarship is particularly valued for its methodological rigor in comparing complex surgical techniques, making D'Souza an essential voice for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of hepatobiliary surgery.
