About

John Stauffer is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery and complex oncologic procedures. His primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques for pancreatic resections, particularly laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, and expanding their application to challenging cases like cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). Stauffer’s most impactful contribution is his leadership in developing the Miami International Evidence-based Guidelines on Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection (2019), a landmark work with 478 citations that established the first global consensus standards for these procedures. This guideline has fundamentally shaped surgical practice and training worldwide. His other highly cited works, including reviews on laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (2016, 31 citations) and the current status of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (2014, 40 citations), have provided critical roadmaps for surgeons navigating this evolving field. By systematically demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and oncologic outcomes of these techniques, Stauffer has helped transform pancreatic surgery from a traditionally open, high-morbidity discipline into one where patients can benefit from reduced recovery times and improved outcomes.
