About
Imran Siddiqui is a leading figure in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery, with a focused expertise in advancing robotic surgical techniques for complex abdominal procedures. His research is centered on two critical areas: objectively evaluating surgical proficiency and expanding the applications of robotic surgery for benign and malignant diseases. Siddiqui’s major contribution is the development of a novel, objective assessment tool that combines kinematic data with stepwise cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis to evaluate novice robotic surgeons, a method detailed in his most-cited paper (29 citations). This work provides a data-driven framework for surgical training, moving beyond subjective evaluations. Clinically, he has pioneered robotic approaches for challenging operations, including the robotic lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (Puestow procedure) for chronic pancreatitis (17 citations) and robotic duodenal surgery for benign and low-grade malignant conditions (9 citations), demonstrating reduced morbidity compared to open surgery. His impact is further underscored by his leadership in surveying HPB fellowship training across North America (13 citations), identifying gaps in education. Through these contributions, Siddiqui is shaping the future of minimally invasive HPB surgery and surgical education.
