About
Dr. Keith Roberts is a leading hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon whose research has fundamentally reshaped the surgical management of pancreatic and liver cancers. His work centers on comparing minimally invasive techniques—robotic and laparoscopic—against traditional open surgery, with a particular focus on oncological outcomes for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). His landmark DIPLOMA study (2017, 280 citations) provided critical evidence comparing minimally invasive versus open distal pancreatectomy for PDAC, establishing benchmarks for oncological resection quality. Dr. Roberts has further advanced the field through comprehensive network meta-analyses comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches for both hepatectomy (2020, 119 citations) and distal pancreatectomy (2019, 54 citations), synthesizing global evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Most recently, his international multicenter cohort study on robotic, laparoscopic, and open pancreatoduodenectomy for ampullary adenocarcinoma (2024) continues to push boundaries in complex pancreatic surgery. Through his rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Dr. Roberts has provided surgeons with evidence-based frameworks for selecting surgical approaches that optimize both perioperative outcomes and long-term oncological results.
