About
Erin Meslar is a surgical researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on advancing robotic techniques for complex liver resections. Her work has made significant contributions to establishing robotic hepatectomy as a viable, safe, and cost-effective alternative to traditional open surgical approaches, a finding documented in her most-cited work, which has garnered 41 citations since its 2020 publication. Meslar has been instrumental in refining surgical technique, notably developing and describing a protocol combining extrahepatic inflow control with laparoscopic CUSA parenchymal transection to improve patient safety during major robotic hepatectomies — work that has attracted 36 citations. Her research also extends to exceptionally complex combined procedures, including robot-assisted simultaneous pancreatectomy and hepatectomy for rare malignancies such as metastatic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma. Additionally, Meslar has contributed important insights into the learning curve associated with medium and high complexity robotic hepatectomy, offering practical guidance for surgical training programs. Collectively, her publications reflect a commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotic surgery while prioritizing patient safety and institutional feasibility.
