About

J. Pudil is a pioneering surgeon whose research has centered on the advancement of minimally invasive techniques, particularly in the realms of laparoscopic and robotic hepatobiliary surgery. His major contributions lie in the early clinical application and comparative analysis of robotic systems for complex liver and gallbladder procedures. Notably, his work on manual versus robotic laparoscopic liver resections, published in 2006, stands as a foundational contribution in the field, having accumulated 26 citations. This study was among the first to provide clinical case reviews comparing these two approaches, offering critical insights into the feasibility and potential advantages of robotic assistance in liver surgery. Additionally, his investigation into robotic laparoscopic cholecystectomy, also from 2006, helped document the early adoption of the da Vinci surgical system in Central Europe, specifically within the multispecialized robotic centre at the Central Military Hospital in Prague. Through these pioneering case reviews, Pudil has helped establish a clinical evidence base for robotic hepatobiliary surgery, influencing subsequent research and practice in the field.
