About
Kevin C. Soares is a leading hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of complex liver and biliary tract diseases, with particular expertise in choledochal cysts and advanced liver malignancies. His landmark 2014 paper on choledochal cysts, with 295 citations, remains a definitive clinical guide that systematically differentiates presentation and management strategies for these congenital anomalies, establishing evidence-based protocols for surgical intervention. Soares has also been at the forefront of adopting minimally invasive techniques, as demonstrated in his 2025 work comparing robotic versus open placement of hepatic artery infusion pumps (HAIP) for advanced liver tumors. This study addresses a critical gap in surgical oncology by evaluating whether robotic approaches can match or surpass traditional open surgery in safety and efficacy for delivering regional chemotherapy. Through his contributions, Soares has helped refine both the classification and treatment of rare biliary conditions while advancing the integration of robotic surgery into complex hepatobiliary oncology, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with some of the most challenging liver and pancreatic diseases.
