About
Dr. John C. Mansour is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pancreatic surgeries, particularly in high-risk and elderly populations. His work has fundamentally shaped how surgeons approach pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy, with a strong emphasis on robotic-assisted methods. Dr. Mansour’s most impactful study, a 2017 NSQIP analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (94 citations), established critical benchmarks for safety and efficacy. He has further defined the field by identifying predictors and outcomes of conversion from minimally invasive to open procedures, as seen in his 2017 and 2019 papers (61 and 21 citations, respectively), which help surgeons mitigate risks during surgery. Notably, his recent 2024 work demonstrates that minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy is a favorable approach for frail patients with pancreatic cancer (17 citations), and that robotic surgery offers distinct advantages for octogenarians—a traditionally vulnerable group—by reducing complications and length of stay compared to open surgery. Through these contributions, Dr. Mansour has not only expanded the boundaries of what is surgically possible but also championed safer, more tailored care for the most challenging patients.
