About

James M. McGreevy is a vascular surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the critical intersection of robotic surgery and vascular injury management. His most-cited paper, "Challenges of conversion from robotic surgery for vascular complications" (2022, 3 citations), documents a landmark case involving a 67-year-old female with endometrial adenocarcinoma who sustained an aortic injury during robotically assisted retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. McGreevy’s detailed account of using graspers to maintain hemostasis during conversion to open surgery has become a reference point for robotic safety protocols. While his citation count is modest, the paper’s practical impact is significant—it provides a step-by-step blueprint for managing catastrophic vascular injuries in minimally invasive settings. McGreevy’s work underscores the importance of preparedness and rapid decision-making in robotic surgery, offering valuable lessons for surgeons navigating the transition from laparoscopic to open repair. His contributions highlight the ongoing need for robust safety mechanisms and conversion strategies in robotic-assisted procedures, making his research essential reading for surgical trainees and experienced practitioners alike.
