About

Hendi Maher is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in robotic and laparoscopic approaches for complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary malignancies. His most impactful contribution is a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, which has garnered over 100 citations and helped define the evidence base for adopting robotic techniques in this challenging procedure. Maher’s work critically evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of these advanced technologies, providing surgeons with essential data to optimize patient care. Beyond gastric surgery, he has contributed to the literature on laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and the prospective role of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy for cancer management, demonstrating a broad commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is achievable through minimally invasive surgery. His research is instrumental in guiding the global shift toward less invasive, yet equally effective, surgical treatments for some of the most formidable cancers.
