About

Dr. Geoffrey Nadzam is a pioneering bariatric and general surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive robotic surgery. His primary research focuses on the application of robotic technology in complex gastrointestinal procedures, particularly metabolic and bariatric surgery. Dr. Nadzam’s major contribution is his early and influential work on the totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, a landmark study published in 2006 that detailed outcomes from 75 patients and has since garnered 77 citations, establishing a foundational protocol for robotic bariatric techniques. This work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of a fully robotic approach, helping to pave the way for its widespread adoption. More recently, his research has expanded to address healthcare disparities in surgical outcomes, as seen in his 2024 study examining ventral hernia repair outcomes between non-Hispanic Black and white patients in the era of robotic surgery. Through his innovative surgical techniques and commitment to equitable care, Dr. Nadzam continues to shape the future of robotic-assisted surgery, improving patient outcomes and access to advanced minimally invasive procedures.
