About
Joerg Arend is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a specific focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques. His research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for liver malignancies, particularly through the refinement of robotic liver surgery. Arend’s major contributions include pioneering the three-device (3D) technique for liver parenchyma dissection, a method that leverages the enhanced dexterity of robotic tools to improve precision. He has also conducted critical systematic reviews and meta-analyses, such as his 2022 work comparing robotic versus laparoscopic approaches, which provides evidence-based insights into the superiority of robotics for achieving R0 resection margins. His research on the LiMAx test as a selection criterion for minimally invasive procedures has been instrumental in reducing postoperative liver failure by identifying optimal candidates for major or minor resections. With top-cited papers accumulating over 70 citations, Arend’s work is highly influential in shaping clinical protocols. His 2021 analysis of the advantages of robotic over laparoscopic surgery further underscores his role as a key voice in the ongoing debate on surgical innovation.
