About
Dr. Emily Mackey is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose work focuses on the intersection of metabolic surgery and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Her most significant contribution is the development of the ligamentum teres cardiopexy, a novel surgical technique designed to address severe GERD following vertical sleeve gastrectomy—a common complication that can undermine patient outcomes. Her 2023 paper on this procedure, which has already garnered 7 citations, provides a detailed technical description and early outcomes, offering a promising alternative to more invasive revisions. Dr. Mackey’s research is critical for refining post-bariatric care, as it directly tackles a major cause of patient dissatisfaction and reoperation. By innovating a less morbid solution, she is helping to expand the safety and durability of sleeve gastrectomy. Her work has been recognized at major surgical conferences, and she is increasingly sought after for her expertise in revisional bariatric surgery. For students and researchers, Dr. Mackey exemplifies how focused clinical innovation can address real-world surgical challenges, improving long-term quality of life for patients.
