About
Dr. Keith King is a leading bariatric surgeon whose research focuses on the comparative effectiveness and economic impact of robotic-assisted surgery in metabolic and weight-loss procedures. His major contributions center on demonstrating that robotic revisional bariatric surgery can significantly shorten hospital stays and improve perioperative outcomes, as shown in his 2020 study (42 citations) and a propensity score-matched analysis of the MBSAQIP registry (41 citations). Dr. King also critically examined the financial implications of robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, revealing the substantial costs associated with this technology in a single academic center (38 citations). While one of his 2020 papers was later retracted, his core body of work has shaped clinical decision-making around the adoption of robotics in bariatric surgery. With over 130 cumulative citations, Dr. King’s research provides essential evidence for surgeons and hospitals weighing the benefits of robotic platforms against their economic burden, making him a key voice in the ongoing debate over surgical innovation and resource allocation.
