About
Jad Khoraki is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in hernia repair, bariatric surgery, and thoracic oncology. His work rigorously evaluates the trade-offs between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic or video-assisted approaches, providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. Khoraki’s most cited study, with 57 citations, examines perioperative outcomes and costs of robotic versus laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, offering a balanced assessment of these competing technologies. He further extends this comparative lens to bariatric surgery, analyzing 30-day and 12-month outcomes after the learning curve for robotic and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. In a nationally representative analysis of lung cancer patients, he demonstrated that while robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is increasingly utilized, it does not consistently outperform video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in perioperative outcomes. Through these high-impact studies, Khoraki has helped clarify the real-world benefits and limitations of robotic surgery, guiding both clinical practice and healthcare policy. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive surgery.
