About

Guillaume Passot is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work is redefining the role of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in gastrointestinal and hernia repair. His primary research areas focus on the technical optimization and clinical outcomes of robotic procedures, particularly for colorectal cancer and abdominal wall hernias. Passot’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficiency of the learning curve for robotic total mesorectal excision, as shown in his multicentre prospective study (16 citations), which provides crucial data for wider adoption of RAS. He has also advanced the debate on anastomotic technique in robotic right hemicolectomy, comparing handsewn versus stapled methods in a prospective cohort (7 citations). His comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic surgery for inguinal and ventral hernia repair (54 citations) is a landmark synthesis of evidence, guiding clinical practice. Passot’s work is notable for its rigorous methodology and focus on standardization, with recent innovations like the suprapubic approach for splenic flexure colectomy. His research directly impacts surgical training and patient outcomes, making him a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
