About
Federico Gheza is a surgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, robotics, and surgical innovation. Based at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Gheza has made significant contributions to the standardization and advancement of robotic surgical techniques across multiple specialties, including hepatopancreatic, colorectal, bariatric, and vascular surgery. His most influential work — a 17-step standardized technique for robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy, amassing 74 citations — has provided surgeons worldwide with a reproducible framework for one of the most technically demanding procedures in abdominal surgery. Beyond pancreatic surgery, Gheza has systematically examined the safety and outcomes of robotic liver resection, identifying key conversion risk factors through a pooled analysis of over 1,000 patients. His research on indocyanine green fluorescence imaging during colorectal surgery has advanced intraoperative assessment of bowel perfusion, offering a promising strategy to reduce dangerous anastomotic leakage. He has also contributed rigorous evidence on iatrogenic spleen injury during colonic flexure mobilization and analyzed learning curves in robotic gastric bypass. With over 200 cumulative citations, Gheza's body of work reflects a sustained commitment to improving surgical precision, safety, and reproducibility in the robotic era.
