About

Joubin Khorsand is a surgeon-researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches to cholecystectomy. His research has made meaningful contributions to understanding how emerging robotic platforms compare to established laparoscopic methods, helping clinicians make more informed decisions about surgical approach selection. His most influential work, a 2017 comparative study garnering 58 citations, rigorously evaluated outcomes between single-site robotic cholecystectomy and multi-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a high-volume tertiary care center, providing valuable real-world evidence during a period of rapid adoption of robotic surgical systems. Complementing this, his 2015 publication — with 19 citations — traced the learning curve associated with single-site robotic cholecystectomy across the first 102 cases performed by a single surgeon, offering rare longitudinal insight into how surgical proficiency develops with novel technology. Together, these contributions position Khorsand as a credible voice in the evolving discourse around robotic surgery's clinical utility and training demands. His work is particularly valuable for surgical trainees and program directors navigating the integration of robotic platforms into modern surgical education and practice.
