About
Jacob Ghotbi is a leading surgical researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. His primary research focus lies in comparing the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic approaches for complex liver and pancreatic resections. Ghotbi’s major contributions include spearheading large-scale, international multicenter studies that provide critical data on the risk factors and consequences of open conversion during minimally invasive procedures. His landmark 2023 study, analyzing 3,880 major hepatectomies and cited 36 times, established key benchmarks for surgical decision-making. Further expanding this work, his 2024 analysis of over 10,000 minor liver resections offers the most comprehensive evidence to date on conversion predictors. Ghotbi has also pioneered research on robotic surgery for hepatolithiasis and the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgical difficulty. With his papers accumulating dozens of citations, Ghotbi is recognized for addressing critical knowledge gaps, particularly through his insightful review on minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy, solidifying his reputation as a key voice guiding the future of safe, evidence-based surgical innovation.
