About
Luna A. Stibbe is a leading surgical researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery. Her primary research areas include robotic surgery, 3D- and 2D-laparoscopy, and the prevention of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Stibbe’s major contributions center on quantifying surgical performance through objective assessment tools. In her highly cited 2021 study, she led a pooled analysis of two randomized trials comparing robotic surgery to 3D- and 2D-laparoscopy during pancreatic and biliary anastomoses in biotissue models, demonstrating that robotic platforms significantly enhance precision and efficiency. This work has garnered 24 citations, underscoring its impact on surgical training and technology adoption. Her 2023 paper, with 18 citations, introduced video grading of pancreatic anastomoses during robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) to map the learning curve and predict POPF risk. By integrating technical skill assessment with patient outcomes, Stibbe has pioneered a data-driven approach to improving surgical safety. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based pathways to master robotic techniques and reduce complications in complex pancreatic procedures.
