About
Dr. Kathryn McNevin is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic hepatectomy. Her major contribution lies in validating and applying the IWATE criteria—a standardized classification system for minimally invasive liver resections—to robotic surgery. In her landmark study of 225 robotic hepatectomies, she demonstrated that the IWATE criteria effectively predict perioperative outcomes, including operative time, blood loss, and complication rates, thereby providing surgeons with a reliable framework for case selection and operative planning. This work, which has garnered 34 citations, has been instrumental in establishing safety benchmarks and expanding the adoption of robotic approaches in complex liver surgery. Dr. McNevin’s research bridges the gap between technical innovation and clinical evidence, offering practical guidance for surgeons navigating the learning curve of robotic hepatectomy. Her findings not only enhance patient outcomes but also set the stage for future prospective studies and standardized training protocols in minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
