About

Daniel Tomey is a surgeon-scientist at the forefront of advancing robotic and metabolic surgery. His research focuses on three key pillars: the evolution of bariatric surgery, the development of standardized robotic training, and the systemic health impacts of surgical weight loss. Tomey’s major contributions include pioneering work on the trajectory of revisional bariatric surgery, documenting the shift from open to laparoscopic to robotic approaches, and co-creating the novel Competency-Based Assessment of Robotic Surgery Skills (CARS) scale—a tool designed to objectively evaluate general surgery residents. His work on the feasibility of robotic cholecystectomy in young academic programs has provided critical benchmarks for early adoption. With over 24 citations across his most prominent papers, Tomey’s influence is growing rapidly. Notably, his umbrella review on behalf of TROGSS—The Robotic Global Surgical Society—explores the link between metabolic surgery and colorectal cancer risk, underscoring the broader oncologic implications of bariatric interventions. Through rigorous outcomes research and educational innovation, Tomey is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery and surgical training.
