About
Dr. Daniel T. Dempsey is a leading bariatric and foregut surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted and laparoscopic approaches for weight loss and reflux disease. His major contributions include demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted vertical sleeve gastrectomy, as evidenced by his landmark study of 411 consecutive cases (39 citations), which also addressed resident education in robotic surgery. He further compared robotic and laparoscopic approaches in a series of 103 sleeve gastrectomies (27 citations), providing critical data on outcomes. Notably, Dr. Dempsey challenged conventional wisdom by showing that minimally invasive fundoplication is safe and effective even in patients with severe esophageal hypomotility (17 citations), a high-risk group traditionally considered poor candidates for the procedure. His work has helped expand surgical options for complex GERD patients and has advanced the integration of robotics into bariatric training programs, making him a respected voice in the evolution of modern gastrointestinal surgery.
