About
Jana DeJesus is a rising leader in minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused expertise in the management of common bile duct pathology. Her work centers on refining surgical approaches to reduce patient morbidity, particularly through the comparative analysis of transcystic common bile duct exploration (TCBDE) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In her landmark 2024 study, "Conquering the common bile duct," DeJesus demonstrated that TCBDE offers superior outcomes—including shorter operative times, lower complication rates, and reduced hospital stays—compared to ERCP for choledocholithiasis. This work, already accumulating 7 citations in its first year, challenges traditional treatment paradigms and provides a compelling evidence base for single-stage laparoscopic management. DeJesus’s contributions are notable for their direct clinical impact, offering surgeons a clear, data-driven rationale for adopting TCBDE as a first-line strategy. Her research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and practical bedside application, positioning her as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive biliary surgery. For students and researchers, DeJesus exemplifies how rigorous comparative studies can reshape standard practice and improve patient care.
