About

Davit L. Aghayan is a leading researcher in the field of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a primary focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for liver resections. His work systematically evaluates the advantages of robotic techniques across various clinical scenarios, including major hepatectomies, resections of posterosuperior segments, and procedures for huge liver tumors (≥10 cm) and hepatolithiasis. Through large-scale international multicenter studies and rigorous propensity-score matched analyses, Aghayan has demonstrated that robotic liver surgery can overcome key limitations of laparoscopy, particularly in complex anatomical settings. His research also addresses critical safety issues, such as risk factors for open conversion during minimally invasive procedures and the impact of cirrhosis and portal hypertension on surgical outcomes. With several papers accumulating 50–76 citations, his contributions have shaped evidence-based guidelines for adopting robotic platforms. Notably, he has also explored innovative navigation technologies, including organ deformation compensation using injected fiducials, advancing the precision of laparoscopic liver surgery. Aghayan’s work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand the evolving landscape of minimally invasive liver surgery.
