About
Jens Werner is a leading figure in pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery, whose work has shaped international standards for complex abdominal procedures. His primary research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques for pancreatic disease, particularly through the development of evidence-based guidelines and the analysis of large-scale clinical outcomes. Dr. Werner’s most influential contribution is his role in authoring the 2020 expert consensus guidelines by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) on managing the pancreatic transection plane after distal pancreatectomy. This highly cited work (73 citations) provides a critical framework for reducing postoperative complications, directly impacting surgical practice worldwide. He is also at the forefront of investigating the global adoption of minimally invasive surgery, as demonstrated by his 2024 transatlantic analysis comparing the selection and outcomes of minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy across international cohorts. Further extending his expertise to liver surgery, Dr. Werner has examined the role of lymphadenectomy for hepatic malignancies, providing valuable insights from modern registry data. Through his leadership in guideline development and his commitment to evaluating surgical innovations, Jens Werner continues to drive improvements in patient safety and surgical efficacy.
