About
Laleh Foroutani is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in pancreatic and gastrointestinal surgery. Her major contributions center on evaluating the adoption and outcomes of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) versus traditional open surgery, as highlighted in her most-cited paper (2025, 6 citations). This study critically examines whether MIDP has become the standard of care in the U.S., analyzing temporal trends in utilization and patient outcomes to guide clinical practice. Foroutani also explores innovative robotic-assisted approaches, such as endoluminal resection of gastroesophageal junction leiomyoma with transoral specimen extraction (2024, 4 citations), demonstrating her commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical precision and recovery. Her work provides valuable evidence for surgeons transitioning to less invasive methods, emphasizing safety and efficacy. With a growing citation impact, Foroutani is establishing herself as a key voice in surgical innovation, bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real-world clinical application. Her research not only informs current practice but also sets the stage for future advancements in minimally invasive surgery.
