About

Dr. Matthias Pfister is a leading authority in the field of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgery, with a specific focus on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques. His work is pivotal in defining the safety, indications, and benchmarks for robotic HPB procedures. Dr. Pfister spearheaded the first-ever Paris Jury-Based Consensus Conference, establishing foundational guidelines for robotic HPB surgery—a landmark contribution that has already garnered 52 citations. He has also conducted critical meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials comparing minimally invasive versus open pancreatic surgery (41 citations), providing high-level evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Most recently, Dr. Pfister has set novel benchmark cutoffs for robotic liver resection, bridging traditional surgical standards with modern innovation. His research directly shapes the safe adoption of robotics in complex abdominal surgery, influencing both current practice and future trial design. With his work cited over 100 times in just a few years, Dr. Pfister is a key voice in the global conversation on the future of minimally invasive HPB surgery.
