About

Katherine A. Morgan is a leading figure in pancreatic surgery, renowned for her expertise in minimally invasive and complex hepatopancreatobiliary procedures. Her research centers on refining surgical techniques for pancreatic cancer, particularly through the application of robotic surgery to enhance patient outcomes. A standout contribution is her work on robotic distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) divestment, a technically demanding procedure that expands resectability in locally advanced disease. Her 2025 educational video on this topic, already garnering 2 citations, exemplifies her commitment to disseminating high-impact, step-by-step training for surgeons. Beyond this, Morgan has published extensively on surgical outcomes, quality of life after pancreatectomy, and innovations in pancreatic surgery, amassing over 1,500 citations across her career. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract’s Outstanding Research Award. As a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, she continues to shape the next generation of surgeons through her research and mentorship, making her an invaluable resource for students and researchers alike.
