About
Karin Johansen is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery through large-scale, international registry-based analyses. Her major contributions center on comparing patient selection, surgical outcomes, and regional practice variations for minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy. By leveraging transatlantic multi-registry data, Johansen has provided critical insights into how different countries adopt and implement these complex procedures, revealing significant international disparities in both utilization and postoperative results. Her most-cited paper (8 citations, 2024) examines international differences in minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy, while a second highly-cited study (3 citations, 2024) analyzes transatlantic variations in minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy. These works are notable for their unprecedented scope, synthesizing data across multiple national registries to benchmark outcomes and inform best practices. Johansen’s research is essential reading for surgeons and healthcare policymakers seeking to understand global trends in pancreatic surgery, optimize patient selection, and improve outcomes through evidence-based, cross-border comparisons.
